When your coworkers stumble into work with a glazed look in their eyes and try to bite your head off before their first cup of coffee, how do you know they’re still your same old coworkers and not brain-chomping zombies?

Movie production company Blowtorch has tapped Leiner to direct, and he’s made no bones about his adoration for the script:
“Once in a lifetime, a script comes along which is beautiful, devastating and life-changing. The Corporate Zombie Killers is none of those, but it is an amazingly hilarious, satirical and action-packed ride in the undying and often overlooked world of corporate zombies.”
