Director and co-writer Kyle Hausman-Stokes tells Grae Drake the answer to the simple-but-powerful question that Morgan Freeman’s character asks in the film, “Why did you join?” He discusses why the military is so important to him and his family. Natalie Morales (Zoe) talks about whether or not, as a director herself, she ever walks onto a set she’s just acting on and relaxes. And Sonequa Martin-Green discusses her character Merit in context of whether or not she took anything along with her beloved character Sasha from The Walking Dead.
My Dead Friend Zoe is a dark comedy drama that follows the journey of Merit (Sonequa Martin-Green), a U.S. Army Afghanistan veteran who is at odds with her family thanks to the presence of Zoe (Natalie Morales), her dead best friend from the Army.
