Mike Became a Zombie for the Movie Trapped 2007
In September and October I spent three nights on the set of the independent film Trapped by Gary Ugarek. I played a zombie
in the movie about a group of people trapped in a movie theater.

First Night
I arrived at 9:00 pm on the first night. One of the makeup artists used an airbrush to transform me into a zombie.

Second Night
I had a busy day. I left the set around 6:00 am. I grilled brats for the South Riding Octoberfest in the afternoon. I attended a UMR Alumni event at dinner time. I arrived on set around 10:00 pm. I was tired enough to become a zombie, but the makeup made me look much better. This night, another artist did my makeup.

Third Night
The following weekend, I missed the Friday night filming and went Saturday arriving around 9:30 pm. I had a different makeup artist and was made into a bloody zombie with a large wound on my head.
