Production

Written, directed, and edited by 12-year-old Emily Hagins. She had previously created a number of short films, one of which was seen and enjoyed by Cameron Crowe.[2] A small grocery store in Austin, Texas closed early one night so that Emily Hagins could film a scene involving 30 zombies of all ages inside and outside of the store. Emily Hagins received a grant from the Texas Filmmakers Production Fund for the post-production work on Pathogen and so did a documentary production company making a documentary on Hagins and the making of Pathogen called Zombie Girl: The Movie.[3][4]
