Presenting The Silent City, a crowd-funded, post-apocalyptic zombie web series that premieres online July 1. There will be five episodes.

From the project's Kickstarter page (which features all kinds of cool behind-the-scenes action):

When an unexplained event decimates the human race, the survivors fight for their lives in the ruins of a once mighty civilization. A decade later, the dangers of the new world have taken their toll. Hopelessness and isolation have felled many of the original survivors, and now one man walks alone, determined to endure against all odds.
