Outback Outbreak: Yolanda Ramke and Ben Howling on 'Cargo' and the Zombie Film

A quintessentially Australian take on the popular zombie-apocalypse subgenre, Cargo weaves elements of Indigenous cultures into a story about a world fallen into ruin. Beyond this, it's also a rare case of a project that has made the leap from short film to feature – with Hollywood backing to boot. Briony Kidd speaks to directors Yolanda Ramke and Ben Howling about how this unique piece of cinema came to life.
