MTV Director Timothy E. Burke to Release World’s First Full-Length “Vertical” Action Movie on TikTok

Los Angeles, CA – July 21, 2024 – Visionary breakthrough film director Timothy E. Burke, known for pushing the boundaries of new and innovative filmmaking methods since his time at MTV, is set to revolutionize the social media film industry. With the ever-increasing daily consumption of entertainment and media on TikTok and Instagram Reels, Burke’s latest project, Generation “Z”, will be the world’s first full-length action movie shot entirely in a “vertical” format. TikTok has over 50 million daily active users with 18.68% of all Americans with mobile internet login to TikTok every single day. Instagram users spend 17.6 million hours a day watching Reels, while people spend an astounding 197.8 million hours a day on TikTok.

Generation “Z” is a thrilling zombie apocalypse film set in post-COVID Los Angeles, where those double vaccinated are the first to become infected. The story follows the Anderson family—Edmund, Jessica, and their three teenage Gen Z children—who live in a posh mansion next to the Beverly Hills Hotel. Their peaceful lives are upended during a birthday celebration when news reports of a new pandemic emerge. Initially skeptical, they soon realize the gravity of the situation as military jets, helicopters, and tanks flood the streets. The Andersons face harrowing challenges, including a zombie home invasion, a desperate escape by car, a terrifying journey through a zombie infested train station, and a perilous trek through California’s Big Sur. Their goal is to reach a cruise liner docked in San Francisco’s port that has been bought by local tech billionaires to safe harbor their friends and families but the road to safety is fraught with danger and uncertainty.
