The later 'Cargo' (2017) full length feature film is a remake of this earlier recent Australian short film Cargo (2013). The interval between the two film productions, which share the same name, is about four years.
This short film has garnered over thirteen million YouTube views.
Of the feature film remake, co-director Yolanda Ramke said: "Going from a seven-minute short film ['Cargo' (2013)] to a 100-minute feature film, there's a big difference there in terms of material. You need to start thinking more deeply about things that you want to be tapping into, and expanding the world of the film, and you have to get a lot more detailed and introduce new characters and new
layers to the story".
This short film was a Tropfest Film Festival finalist in 2013.
It was this visceral, evocative and emotionally charged image of a zombie carrying a
baby on its back that resulted in this seven minute short film striking a chord with its audience at the Tropfest Short Film Festival.
