Director's Statement
Little Miseries is my interpretation of the guilt for cheating on someone you loved and having it haunt you.
While Ashlyn gets close to Bradley, unbeknownst to her, Cole destroys himself, tearing his skin to pieces.
Returning home, she must then carry her guilt with her through the end of the world, manifested in her zombified husband.
She searches for a cure, for hope that things will go back to how they were, but we all know that there are some things that can't be. The guilt will eat you alive in the end.
