About Code Z:
The Zombie apocalypse has begun and spreading quick through the country. The only chance of survival now lies in the hands of Brazilian triplets: Katelyn, Hayley, and Lena. The fiercest, sultriest, fearless trio who fights evil with a strong left hook. Three sisters destined for a powerful journey.
Lena, Hayley and Katelyn are not only triplet sisters, they are also human/zombie hybrids. At first, their partial immunity to the Zombie Virus is a huge mystery to everyone including them. However, they later discover that their biological mother had a very rare blood disease and during the triplets birth, she died, and the three of them inherited their third of her disease. What seemed like a family curse growing up was actually a blessing. When the zombie outbreak hit, this rare disease made each of their bloods able to peacefully coexist with the Zombie Virus. That immunity successfully kept their human half safe even though they are technically still infected. They must now learn how to live with and control the virus buried deep inside them. Once they learn how to control this virus, they will be able to use its strengths to their advantage. Now Lena, Hayley and Katelyn dedicate their lives hunting down the undead and looking for any survivors of the recent zombie apocalypse.

"After this, we're doing films."
Those were the final words my uncle Michael would ever say to me. It was at the end of our family day at a Beverly Hills Indian restaurant. While I was saying my goodbyes to the rest of my family, I went up to my uncle and hugged him. I told him that I loved him and that I was proud of him and proud to be his nephew. I also said I would see him soon because I was planning to go to the UK to see his shows. He responded by saying that he loved me more. He then paused, looked me straight in the eyes and said, "after this, we're doing films."
That was our master game plan. You see, my uncle had another huge passion besides music... that was film directing. We would always talk about making films together, me and him, we were going to be a 1-2 Jackson power combo. That's what I loved about my uncle. You truly believed like you could do anything when you were with him. He made you feel like that. He was so inspirational. Since he's been gone, a huge hole exists for me. One that can never be filled. An emotional, spiritual, and mental hole. The only thing that helps, is knowing that I am doing exactly what he would want me to do. Doing what he taught me to do…. and that's film. And that's why Code Z is so important to me. It's about a promise. A promise to direct films. A simple promise that I made to my uncle, who was and always will be the greatest.
I know someone could say that Code Z is just a zombie series. But it's much more than that too. It's the official start to my film career... when I finally stopped talking about it and started doing it.
I really want to thank all of you for helping me keep that promise.
Taj
