Chloe Burrows pranks mum into thinking zombies are real
Chloe Burrows creates a fake documentary just to prank her mum. Can she convince her mum that Zombies are real? From fake foodies, to fake chefs, to fake police officers, Chloe has every base covered and her mum is in for a wild ride.
This digital short is a companion to Ben Wheatley's zombie series Generation Z.
Cooking up this light-hearted plan with celebrated YouTube prankster, Archie Manners, Chloe Burrows has employed her mum Louisa to co-present a totally fake Channel 4 documentary about a worrying human flesh-eating trend.
With a cohort of actors in on the gag, including someone who plays a chef mastering in human flesh cookery, can Chloe convince her mum to eat what she thinks is human flesh, or will the hoax be up before then?
Chloe Burrows comments: "It was a tough act to keep the joke going, but to see the reactions and relief on my mum's face was hilarious. Sorry mum!"
This digital short was produced by Acclaimed Content. Channel 4's commissioning executive Cat White says: "We love working with 4Creative, even more so when Zombies are involved. Archie's mad masterplan was pulled off seamlessly by Chloe in true YouTube caper style (and both have been officially forgiven by Louisa since). It was a real treat to work with Archie the master pranker. He and Acclaimed Content pulled off something really special in an incredibly short six-week time frame."
