CARGO, directed by Yolanda Ramke and Ben Howling from Ramke’s screenplay, makes its Netflix premiere May 18, and has the first of its four Tribeca showings Thursday, April 19 at 9:15 p.m. (see its fest details here). The cast also includes Anthony Hayes, Susie Porter, Caren Pistorius, Kris McQuade, Simone Landers and David Gulpilil from THE LAST WAVE and DARK AGE. The synopsis: “In the aftermath of a global pandemic, Andy [Freeman] is focused on keeping his wife and their infant daughter alive as they travel across the Australian Outback. A terrible accident, however, forces him to set off on foot: A zombie bite has given Andy a mere 48 hours before he, too, is undead. Andy struggles to both find a refuge for his child and stave off the disease as the clock runs out on his humanity.”
