ROBOT ZOMBIES a feature length screenplay by Mark Redsky
Kirk and Manny. (The Main Characters)
I got the idea for Kirk and Manny while hanging out with a buddy of mine. We joked around, often trying to one up each other by taking verbal shots back and forth (and sometimes shots). We found ourselves funny and I thought others would too.
Since buddy movies like Smoke Signals, Shanghai Knights and lately Harold and Kumar have been successful, I felt it was worthwhile to develop a story about two First Nations friends and their antics.

Kirk, is the impulsive, dreamer – schemer who drives at getting them going, usually in the wrong direction.
Kirk's friendly heavyset buddy Manny, usually follows along attempting to be the voice of reason.

Always wanting money, the guys work harder at not working, than just doing a job. This gets them into trouble. The laughs pile up as Kirk and Manny stumble along on "chance and Indian ways" as they try to outsmart brain-dead zombies.
The story is zany and fun, a little Dance Me Outside meets The Beach Combers, with interesting and diverse characters all set on a collision course with destiny.
