They stick to the back roads and forests to steer clear of the shambling corpses that patrol the once bustling cities and towns. In order to survive, they must overcome the stark differences in each other’s personalities — Ben embraces an increasingly feral, lawless, and nomadic lifestyle, while Mickey is unable to accept the harsh realities of the new world. Mickey refuses to engage in Ben’s violent games and longs for the creature comforts he once took for granted — a bed, a girl and a safe place to live.When the men intercept a radio transmission from a seemingly thriving, protected community, Mickey will stop at nothing to find it, even though it is made perfectly clear that he is not welcome.Special Features:Audio Commentary with Writer/Producer/Director/Star Jeremey Gardner, Producer/Star Adam Cronheim and Producer/Director of Photography Christian StellaTOOLS OF IGNORANCE: The Making Of The Battery (90 minute documentary)OuttakesTheatrical TrailerROCK PLAZA CENTRAL AT THE PARLOR: The Music Of The Battery 1080p High-Definition Widescreen (2.35:1)/DTS-HD Master Audio Stereo /2013/Color/100 minutes/Not Rated THE BATTERYAn O. hannah Films ProductionWritten and Directed by Jeremy GardnerProduced by Jeremy Gardner, Douglas A.
