1. I worked on getting George A. Romero the recognition that he deserves. The Zombie Research Society and I had launched a campaign to get Romero a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. I contacted various celebrities, authors, and fans who shared the same interest in zombies as I. (Quentin Tarantino, Simon Pegg, Steve Hockensmith, Max Brooks, Jonathan Maberry..) However, the project was unfortunately shut down by the Hollywood Chamber of Commerce due to the fact that we were advertising that the star costs so much money. Before the project was shut down I did however get to put together an article within the Hero Complex of the LA Times with the help of Steve Hockensmith and Gina McIntyre.
2. An article that I have reviewed that helped me determine what I should do next with my senior project was the article "Can the Walking Dead Revive the Zombie Genre?" Reading this article taught me that there are and can be various central messages behind the movies, shows and books within the zombie genre.
3. The Hero Complex article:
