Fist bumps and fist pumps

Two best friends made a campy zombie movie that’s scoring some festival buzz. Sam Suchmann and Mattie Zufelt, both 20, share a massive zombie obsession.

The Providence, R.I., amateur filmmakers, who both have Down syndrome, will appear on Conan Thursday, but they’re not nervous. Their upbeat film, Spring Break Zombie Massacre, is full of parties with fist pumps and fist bumps, about 70 gallons of fake blood and a bunch of zombies out to ruin prom.

“Me and Mattie are different, but our bro-ship is bigger than anything. We’re not ordinary. We’re rebellious. Back in the day we’d be locked in an asylum or a group home, but it’s not like that anymore,” Suchmann told TIME.
