Character Relationships:
to create a sense of realism and relatability. Describe the reaction of the community to the outbreak and how they try to survive.The zombie outbreak in Vancouver started in the North Shore Mountains, spreading rapidly throughout the city. The first major site to be overrun by zombies was Stanley Park, a popular tourist destination. Panic ensued as people tried to flee the city, causing traffic jams on the Lions Gate Bridge and other major routes.
Downtown Vancouver was quickly overtaken by the infected, leaving few safe havens for survivors. The Vancouver General Hospital was one of the first locations to be hit, with doctors, nurses, and patients fighting for their lives against the zombie horde. The hospital was eventually abandoned, with many of the infected still inside.
Survivors quickly realized that they needed to band together if they wanted any chance of survival. Small groups formed in the mountains and forests surrounding Vancouver, but the lack of resources made sustainability a significant challenge.
The Canadian government and military quickly became involved in the situation, setting up quarantine zones and trying to contain the outbreak. However, friction between the survivors and the military made cooperation difficult.
As the virus continued to spread, rumors started to circulate about its origins. Some believed it was a bioweapon developed by the government, while others thought it was a result of the meteor strike. But in the end, finding a cure became the top priority.
Despite the chaos and destruction, the survivors of Vancouver showed remarkable resilience and resourcefulness. A band of survivors formed, united in their fight against the undead. They worked together to scavenge for supplies, find shelter, and avoid the infected.
The fight against the zombie outbreak in Vancouver was long and grueling, but eventually a cure was found, and the infected were eradicated. The survivors slowly began to rebuild their lives, their resilience serving as an inspiration to others in similar situations around the world.

FADE IN:
EXT. DOWNTOWN VANCOUVER - DAY
The deserted streets of downtown Vancouver are quiet, except for the sound of the wind. The camera pans to a group of survivors, led by Dr. Naomi Chen. Her eyes are alert and her lips are pressed tightly together, a frown creasing her forehead. She peeks over her shoulder, signaling to the group to move forward.
DR. NAOMI CHEN
(whispers)
Keep your eyes peeled, we don't know what's lurking here.
The camera pans over to MIGUEL RODRIGUEZ, a confident-looking young man, carrying a baseball bat on his shoulder. A large backpack bulges at his side. JANE KIM, a gutsy reporter, holds a camera, ready to capture the group's movements. The group moves forward in silence, tension building up.
Suddenly, a group of zombies appears from the shadows, sensing the presence of the survivors. The camera shows the intense looks of the survivors as they prepare for the worst.
DR. NAOMI CHEN
(whispers)
Get ready!
Miguel swings his baseball bat with brute force, its sharp thwack isolating itself from the zombies’ moans. Naomi raises her rifle, a bead of sweat trickling down her forehead, staring intently through the viewfinder of her rifle sights to take out her first zombie target. Jane clicks her camera, framing the perfect shot while Captain Jameson, unflappable and calm, is vigilant, ensuring the safety of the group.
The group defeats the zombies one by one, but they know that the battle is nowhere near over. The camera shows the sense of loss and rage in their eyes even as they move forward, hesitant, but resolute.
As they move through the city, more zombies emerge from the shadows, prompting a series of adrenaline-pumping battles. Miguel charges forward with a whoop and slams his bat forcefully into the horde of zombies, striking a satisfying thwack with every hit. Naomi manages her ammo carefully, taking careful headshots and using her ingenuity to stay alive. Meanwhile, Captain Jameson provides instructions and cover, ensuring that the group remains safe come what may.
Finally, the survivors reach the entrance of Granville Island. As they catch their breath for a moment, their senses are assailed by the growls and hisses of the undead. From a distance, they look at each other with grim determination.
DR. NAOMI CHEN
(to the group)
We're not fighting to die—we are fighting to survive.
The camera zooms out and shows more of the Island, a once-bustling market where neon lights and happy people inhabiting an atmosphere of togetherness. It is now a place of horror, completely overrun with the undead.
FADE OUT.
Here is the final version of Scene 2:
FADE IN:
EXT. VANCOUVER GENERAL HOSPITAL - DAY
The survivors move towards the hospital entrance. Tanya Patel takes the lead, holding a map of the hospital in her hand. She peers over her sunglasses, her sharp gaze scanning the surroundings. Naomi Chen, a doctor, and Miguel Rodriguez, a former Special Forces member, follow closely behind.
TANYA PATEL
(to the group)
Stick together, we don't know what we're walking into.
The doors creak open, revealing a dark, ominous interior. The group cautiously moves inside, their footsteps echoing in the empty hallways.
They hear moaning and shuffling from the end of the corridor and quickly hide behind the reception desk.
MIGUEL RODRIGUEZ
(whispers)
This place gives me the creeps.
DR. NAOMI CHEN
(whispers back)
The infected are attracted to sound. We need to be quiet.
Naomi takes some time to examine the map, trying to figure out where they should go next.
NAOMI CHEN
(pointing to the map)
The medical supplies room is on the second floor. Let's get there.
Suddenly, the sound of shuffling footsteps fills the air. The group stops dead in their tracks, weapons at the ready. A group of zombies appears from around the corner, their eyes vacant, their teeth gnashing hungrily. The survivors leap into action.
The group fights their way through the horde, firing weapons and dodging incoming attacks. Tanya takes charge of the fight, expertly maneuvering through the infected and clearing a path for the others.
As the survivors make their way through the hospital, Tanya uses her resourcefulness to get them out of sticky situations. She leads them through hidden corridors and service elevators, utilizing her knowledge of the hospital's layout to evade the infected.
Finally, they reach what appears to be a medical supplies room. Naomi quickly checks the contents of the room and finds a variety of useful medical supplies, including vaccine samples. Suddenly, the door opens, revealing a tall, lanky figure.
LOUIS CHEUNG
(smiling)
Hello, survivors. I've been waiting for you.
The group stares at Louis, confusion written all over their faces.
DR. NAOMI CHEN
(suspiciously)
Who are you? What do you want?
LOUIS CHEUNG
(excitedly)
My name is Louis Cheung. Nice to finally meet the brave ones who have survived the outbreak. I've been working on a cure. And I need your help to test it out.
The survivors look at each other, torn between skepticism and hope.
MIGUEL RODRIGUEZ
(determined)
We're interested. Tell us more.
Louis picks up a vial of vaccine and holds it up to the light.
LOUIS CHEUNG
(persuasively)
This is the only hope we have. Trust me when I say that I have been working on this for a long time.
Naomi looks at Tanya, who nods in agreement.
DR. NAOMI CHEN
(resolutely)
We'll help you. But on one condition - you tell us everything.
Louis nods, a satisfied smile on his face.
LOUIS CHEUNG
(agrees)
I'll tell you everything you need to know.
The camera pans out, showing the group gathered around Louis in the medical supplies room, listening intently as he explains the origins of the virus and the science behind the vaccine.
FADE OUT.

FADE IN:
EXT. VANCOUVER CITY STREETS - DAY
The survivors walk on the deserted streets of Vancouver, splitting into smaller groups to scavenge for food, water, and shelter. Tanya leads one group, consisting of Jane Kim, Hannah, and Marcus. They walk in silence, their eyes scanning the surroundings as they search for anything useful.
Tanya stops in her tracks and turns to the group.
TANYA PATEL
(to the group)
Head towards Robson Square. We might find some resources there.
The group nods and begins to make their way towards Robson Square. As they walk, they hear moans and groans coming from an alleyway. Hannah takes the lead, silently motioning for the others to follow her.
HANNAH JOHNSON
(whispers)
Be quiet. There might be zombies around.
The group cautiously moves through the alleyway, their eyes scanning the surroundings. Suddenly, a zombie charges towards them, arms outstretched. Hannah quickly takes it down with her fire axe.
JANE KIM
(amazed)
You're a natural at this.
HANNAH JOHNSON
(humbly)
I used to be a firefighter. It comes with the job.
They continue to move through the city, facing challenges such as limited resources and hidden zombies. At Robson Square, they find a small stash of food and water, which they divvy up among themselves.
Tanya stops and checks her backpack.
TANYA PATEL
(Frustrated)
We need to find more food. We can't survive on just this.
Hannah senses the desperation in Tanya's voice and takes the lead.
HANNAH JOHNSON
(Looking at Tanya)
We will find what we need, Tanya. We just can't give up.
The group nods in agreement, and they set off towards the Pacific Centre, determined to find more resources. As they walk through the deserted streets, they encounter more zombies and have to fight their way through them. Marcus struggles with a zombie and is almost bitten, but Hannah quickly comes to his rescue, taking the zombie down with her axe.
HANNAH JOHNSON
(to the group)
We need to be more careful. They're getting stronger.
The group reaches Pacific Centre, and they start scavenging for supplies. As they search, they hear a loud crash.
TANYA PATEL
(Whispers)
What was that?
They hear more noises and shoutings. They decide to investigate and they move towards the noise. Inside, they see a group of people who look like looters robbing shops and violently attacking people.
HANNAH JOHNSON
(to the group)
We have to help them!
The looters are outnumbered, and it seems like a lost cause. But Hannah refuses to stand by and watch. She leads the charge and takes down one of the looters, giving the rest of the group an opening to intervene.
They quickly join the fray, fighting through the chaos to save the survivors. Hannah leads the charge, taking down the looters and freeing the survivors.
After the scuffle, the group walks across the devastated city, carrying the scavenged goods with them. They find themselves in front of Science World Dome, a giant geodesic dome building that serves as a venue for science exhibits and events.
HANNAH JOHNSON
(to the group)
This will be our new shelter.
Tanya and Jane nod in agreement, relieved to have a safe place to stay for the night. Marcus gives Hannah a grateful nod, and she smiles back at him.
Dissolve to the next day, the group is seen working together, using the survival skills Hannah taught them. Hannah works on ensuring the dome is secure and Tanya is preparing food, while Jane and Marcus are busy repairing their possessions.
Hannah emerges as a leader, inspiring hope and unity among the survivors.
HANNAH JOHNSON
(to the group)
We can't give up. We have to keep fighting. For Vancouver.
The survivors nod in agreement, fortified by Hannah's strength and determination.
FADE OUT.

FADE IN:
INT. ABANDONED LABORATORY - DAY
Naomi and Louis work side by side in the lab, deep in concentration as they analyze samples and run tests in search of a cure for the virus. Naomi's eyes scan the microscope, her lips pursed in frustration.
NAOMI CHEN
(sighing)
This isn't working. We need a breakthrough.
Louis leans in and places a hand on her shoulder.
LOUIS CHEUNG
(softly)
We'll find it, Naomi. We just need to keep looking.
Naomi takes a deep breath and nods. They continue examining samples for what feels like hours, but suddenly, Naomi jumps up, her eyes sparkling with hope.
NAOMI CHEN
(excitedly)
Louis, I think we've done it! We've found the cure!
Louis meets her gaze, his expression elated. They embrace in a hug of mutual relief and excitement.
LOUIS CHEUNG
(smiling)
We couldn't have done it without you.
NAOMI CHEN
(grinning)
We did it together.
Their celebratory moment is cut short as they hear screams from outside. They rush to the window and see a horde of infected approaching the building.
NAOMI CHEN
(urgently)
We need to get this cure out of here before it's too late.
Louis nods, and they quickly gather their supplies and head out the door.
EXT. ABANDONED LABORATORY - DAY
As they step out into the fresh air, they see a small group of survivors being chased by a swarm of infected. Naomi and Louis sprint towards them to offer aid. They join forces with the survivors and fight back against the infected together, with Naomi and Louis administering the cure to the injured.
One of the survivors, a grizzled older man, steps forward, holding a makeshift weapon.
SURVIVOR
(suspiciously)
Who are you two? Why should we trust you?
Naomi steps forward, holding out the vial of the cure.
NAOMI CHEN
(firmly)
We've found the cure. We can save lives.
The group reluctantly agrees to join forces with them, but tensions remain high as they continue to flee from the infected.
As they make their way through the city, they encounter more survivors, some wary of joining forces.
SURVIVOR 2
(jaded)
We've been on our own for this long. We don't need you two to survive.
Naomi and Louis exchange a meaningful look, understanding the need to be cautious in these unstable times.
Finally, they reach their destination: a military stronghold where they hope to produce more of the cure and distribute it to the survivors.
As they enter the building, they are met with a tense and chaotic atmosphere. Military personnel are frantically working to contain the outbreak, struggling to keep the infected from overrunning the city.
CAPTAIN JAMESON
(urgent)
We need that cure now. Lives are at stake.
Naomi and Louis step forward, ready to administer the cure and save lives. But they realize that the clock is ticking and time is running out.
NAOMI CHEN
(determined)
We'll do everything we can. But we need your help to get this cure out to the people who need it.
The group nods, united in their mission to save lives and rebuild their community. They work together frantically, racing against time as the infected swarm ever closer, to produce and distribute the cure to those in need.
The camera follows them as they mix compounds, distill liquids and package them. We see Louis leading a team, Naomi injecting those sick with the virus, and the other survivors organizing the bottled cure.
Soon, a convoy of trucks head out to bring the life-saving cure to the citizens in the city. We see Naomi standing beside Louis, her heart racing with excitement and anxiety.
LOUIS CHEUNG
(grinning)
We did it, Naomi. We found the cure.
NAOMI CHEN
(smiling)
But at what cost, Louis? So many are gone.
LOUIS CHEUNG
(optimistically)
But many more will live because of us.
They share another meaningful look, knowing the gravity of their accomplishment.
FADE OUT.
The survivors have found the cure, but the journey to administer and distribute it is far from over. They must band together and race against time to save as many lives as possible. The fate of Vancouver rests on their shoulders.
Here is the final version of scene 5:
EXT. NORTH SHORE MOUNTAINS - DAY
The remaining survivors trek through the North Shore Mountains, searching for a safe haven. They stop to catch their breath, and Alice leans against a tree, trying to catch her breath.
ALICE
(panting)
We need to find some shelter. I can't keep going like this.
DAVE
We'll have to keep moving. We're not safe out here.
As they continue their journey, they hear howling in the distance.
MARCUS
(whispering)
Keep your eyes peeled. Wolves are known to hunt in these parts.
ALICE
(sarcastically)
Great. Because we didn't have enough to worry about.
Suddenly, a pack of wolves emerges from the trees, surrounding the group.
MARCUS
(seething)
This is all your fault, Dave. If we'd stayed put, we wouldn't be in this mess.
DAVE
(defensive)
It's not my fault we have a zombie apocalypse!
ALICE
(trying to calm them down)
Guys, this isn't helping. We need to work together to survive.
The wolves circle closer, baring their teeth and growling.
MARCUS
(to Dave)
We're not going to make it out of here, are we?
DAVE
(determined)
We will if we stick together.
Alice spots a nearby cave and points it out to the group.
ALICE
Look, we can take shelter in there.
DAVE
Good idea. Let's move.
The group makes a run for the cave, with the wolves nipping at their heels. They manage to climb into the cave, but the wolves linger outside, snarling and scratching at the entrance.
ALICE
(reassuringly)
We should be safe in here for now.
DAVE
(exhausted)
We're not out of the woods yet. Literally.
MARCUS
(defeated)
Why did this have to happen? What did any of us do to deserve this?
DAVE
(sternly)
It doesn't matter what we've done. What matters is that we keep fighting to survive.
As the group settles in for the night, they hear distant growling, signaling that the wolves are still nearby. They huddle together, trying to keep warm and remain hopeful that they'll make it through the night.
FADE TO BLACK.
Here is the final version of scene 6
EXT. MOUNTAINS - DAY
The survivors have formed small communities in the mountains, supporting one another in their newfound solitude. Naomi's group has set up camp near a stream, constructing makeshift shelters out of branches and leaves. Naomi, Tanya, and Hannah are sitting together near the makeshift shelter, discussing their daily objective.
NAOMI
(addressing the group)
"We need to find a way to stay sustainable. We can't keep scavenging for food forever, and winter is approaching."
TANYA
(nodding)
"Right. We need to find a place to grow crops and start harvesting vegetables."
HANNAH
(skeptical)
"But how are we supposed to do that without seeds, tools or a guide on how to harvest crops?"
NAOMI
(smiling)
"I've been doing some research and found out that there are wild fruits and vegetables we can gather in the area. Also, I had an idea on how to start a garden just by using rocks to create a greenhouse effect. I just need help with gathering resources to create it."
The group works together and finds stones, branches, and mud to create a greenhouse-like area, gathering water from the stream, and using soil on the ground.
MEANWHILE, Miguel's group has set up camp near a cluster of trees, constructing a wooden fort for protection. They hear rumbles and noises coming from a distance.
MIGUEL
(to the group)
"We need to keep moving. We can't stay in one place for too long."
JANE
(protesting)
"But we just got settled. We need stability if we're going to survive."
MIGUEL
(explaining)
"We're still vulnerable to zombie attacks and other groups of survivors. We need to keep moving."
The group packs up their fort and starts moving but encountered an obstacle. They come across a rushing river, with no way to cross.
MIGUEL
(thinking)
"We need to find a way across. There might be a fallen tree or something."
JANE
(scanning the area)
"I see something over there!"
The group rushes over to find a fallen tree, half-submerged in the water. They carefully make their way across, dodging the rushing current.
JANE
(relieved)
"That was close."
MIGUEL
(smiling)
"We make a pretty good team."
As the day wears on, the different groups hear stories from everyone and share resources. Naomi tells the others about a breakthrough in her research for a cure.
NAOMI
(excitedly)
"I think I've found it! The missing piece to the puzzle! We could potentially cure this!"
TANYA
(amazed)
"That's incredible. What do we need to do?"
NAOMI
(determined)
"We need to gather specific ingredients and start testing. It's a long shot, but it's worth a try. We can try finding the resources we need tomorrow."
HANNAH
(supportive)
"We're with you, Naomi."
As the day ends, the survivors gather around a campfire and enjoy some freshly caught fish provided by Naomi's group. Naomi shares her discoveries and stories with everyone else, and the mood stays relatively light despite the reality of their situation.
FADE TO BLACK.

PAN SHOT shows the survivors, armed with weapons and looking determined, as they make their way towards their destination. Suddenly, loud moans coming from a nearby trail startle them. The survivors look up to see a group of infected, making their way towards them.
NAOMI
(addressing the group)
"This is it, everyone. We need to fight for our survival."
MIGUEL
(grimly)
"We've been training for this moment, and we won't give up now. Let's show them what we're capable of."
The two groups collide, the sound of flesh tearing and bones cracking filling the air. During the fight, we see close-ups of the actors showing their intense emotions and the struggle they're facing as they kill the infected. The survivors fight with all they've got, but it's a brutal fight, and they suffer heavy casualties.
CUT TO:
EXT. KITSILANO BEACH - DAY
Mid shot of the survivors, led by Marcus, running towards the shore, looking behind in terror. They're being chased by a swarm of infected, who are slowly closing in on them.
MARCUS
(yells)
"Keep moving, everyone! We're almost there! Don't give up!"
They make it to the shore, but the infected are right behind them. Marcus takes out his weapon, and the others follow suit. A STEDICAM SHOT shows the group standing their ground and looking intensely focused on their target, as the infected close in.
MARCUS
(shouting)
"Steady, everyone. Wait for my command."
The zombies are only a few feet away. Marcus raises his weapon and gives the signal to attack. The survivors fight with all their might, but two of them are bitten by the zombies during the battle.
CUT TO:
EXT. STANLEY PARK - DAY
PULLOUT SHOT of Hannah and her group hiding behind a tree, watching as a horde of infected moves past them. They wait until the coast is clear before moving on, but they're caught off guard by a stray zombie lying in wait. Hannah sees it first and immediately alerts her group.
HANNAH
(alerting her group)
"Behind you!"
Her group turns around, weapons at the ready. They take out the infected, but the noise draws more zombies towards them. One of the survivors is bitten and goes down in the scuffle.
CUT TO:
EXT. SCIENCE WORLD - DAY
The survivors are gathered inside the Science World dome, their last refuge. In the background, we can see the zombies pounding on the dome and trying to get in. Naomi is working on her cure, Tanya is helping the wounded, and Hannah is trying to calm the survivors down.
HANNAH
(addressing the survivors)
"We've lost some of our own today, and it's a tragedy we'll never forget. But we're still alive, and we have each other. This is not the end, it's a new beginning. We'll rebuild our city, and we'll make sure this never happens again."
The survivors nod in agreement, tears in their eyes yet determined to move on and fight back. Naomi looks up, her face glowing with pride and hope as she holds up a small vial containing the cure.
NAOMI
(holding up the vial)
"We have our cure. Now we have hope that we can save our city and the world."
The survivors cheer as the camera pans out, showing the infected trying to get inside the dome, indicating that the fight is not over yet.
FADE TO BLACK.
