Revenge of Zoe is a modern, lighthearted comedy that takes place in and around a fictional comic book store named CBD’s. Many scenes were shot in an actual, working comic shop and a gaming shop, both of which were open for business during filming. Revenge of Zoe is a celebration of fandom, the geek way of life, comics, sci-fi and fantasy, and the art of screenwriting, with strong themes of inclusion. It is a reminder of everything that we value about geek culture.
Synopsis: Down-and-out screenwriter Billy Shaw (Bradford Trojan) is haunted by the ghost of a comic book character, Fren-Zee (Rachel Netherton), while he tries to convince two comic book store owners to help him write a blockbuster superhero movie.

Two years ago, screenwriter Billy Shaw wrote a blockbuster superhero movie about the golden age classic comic book heroine “Fren-Zee“, aka “Zoe Muldoom Zephyr.” Billy couldn’t have done it without the help of nerdy comic book store owners Pete Raynoso and John Burns. But Billy got a little too full of himself and publicly took all the credit for the film.
Now, Billy is friendless, drug-addicted, and broke. He’s also convinced that he’s being haunted by the ghosts of Fren-Zee’s creator Nick Levine and, more impossibly, by Fren-Zee herself. After losing his last valuable possession in a drunken poker game, Billy gets a miraculous phone call from his agent with an offer to write the sequel to “Fren-Zee” for a huge payday. But first, he must find a way to mend his relationship with Pete and John and get them to help him write the screenplay. Then, maybe the ghosts of Nick Levine and Fren-Zee will leave him alone.
Billy Shaw (Bradford Trojan), Fren-Zee (Rachel Netherton), John burns (Eric Schumacher), and Pete Reynoso (Nathan Campbell), make Revenge of Zoe is a hilarious feel-good comedy feature film about a bunch of dysfunctional people who make their living in the world of fan culture. Shot largely in real life, functioning comic book and game stores, Revenge of Zoe is about creativity, acceptance, friendship, and everything that makes fan culture awesome.
Revenge of Zoe was a winner at Silver State Film Festival, and Western New York F.A.M.E. It was an official selection at Gen Con Film Festival, Arizona Underground Film Festival, Newark International Film Festival, ISDC Dallas Film Festival, and Golden State Film Festival
