Pathogen is a 2006 zombie horror independent film written, directed, and produced by Emily Hagins, who was twelve at the time of the film's production.[1] The film was released on March 25, 2006 and focuses on several middle school students that discover that an infection is turning people into zombies.
Plot
Fourteen-year-old Dannie (Rose Kent-McGlew) is horrified when a waterborne disease caused by bacteria begins to spread, but believes that the disease is somehow linked to her recurring dreams. As the disease becomes an epidemic, it's revealed that the disease not only kills those it infects but also turns them into zombies. As Dannie and her friends try to find the solution to the disease, they come across researcher Sue, who might hold the key to both the zombie disease and Dannie's dreams.

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]
