The film appears at first to be a documentary. Bish, a final year film student, is shooting the documentary for his graduating project. Things change when an unspecified "incident" wipes out the population of Western Australia leaving Bish as the only survivor. At first he enjoys his new found wealth and power, stealing cars, playing golf in expensive mansions and breaking into an Army base to steal an arsenal of weaponry including a Field Gun which he uses to shell the houses of people he didn't like when they were alive. Bish is just starting to become lonely when the zombies arrive and he finds a new lease of life in the challenge of survival. He is preparing to leave Perth when he makes contact with another survivor, Sarah, on the other side of town and he finds the true purpose that had eluded him in his former life - to get to Sarah and get her out of the city. However as the city is now overflowing with zombies this proves to be more than a little difficult.

touch-base What an extraordinary film – part autobiography, part "last man on earth." Who wouldn't want their last recorded video to be in part a tribute to their life? The premise that power & internet continue to function post-apocalypse makes for so many interesting possibilities film-wise. Perth was a great choice of location - it had never occurred to me Perth is the most isolated capital city in the world. And selecting a brush-cutter as weapon of choice was brilliant. The zombie hordes were plausibly carried out – clearly a nod to the 1948 film The Boy with Green Hair. Possibly also paying homage to Rhinoceros (1974) based on the Eugene Ionesco play. The only disappointment for me was the ending - could have been happy, could have been sad, could have been heroic, could have been tragic - but I guess the money simply ran out. Hard to believe the budget was only $10k. What could they do with more cash??
miranda-edmonds I AM BISH is a without a doubt my favourite zombie movie ever! OK so I'm not a zombie movie fan and technically it's not completely a zombie movie... but there are hundreds of zombies in it and they are bloody fantastic. Beyond the walking dead I AM BISH is an extremely originally crafted film. It weaves truth and fiction, real life and make believe in such a way that the line between them suddenly doesn't seem important. I have never actually seen anything like it. One minute we are at the end of the world being pursued by zombies, the next getting insight into the state of the Australian film industry and the next just wishing the main character (and film maker, or is he?) Bish gets the girl just to shut him up. For a female viewer it is also a very entertaining insight into the workings of the male mind. What held my interest however is the two leads. Siobhan as Sarah skillfully combines truth and spoof to deliver an extremely entertaining performance. I can't wait to see more from her in the future. And Bish himself comes to the film with such absolute honesty and quick wit that we go with him from zombie to bloody zombie start to finish.
milesjupp I once saw the director give a speech about 20 years ago and it was one of the funniest speeches I've ever heard, so based on that I went to see the movie and was not disappointed. Very well written, the production, given the tiny budget, was excellent and I can only imagine that the Director is pretty popular to produce so many zombies, I mean, I only know 4! I literally left the theatre following the screening with sore sides; I don't recall the last time I laughed that hard but hope to do it again soon. Well done, please make another movie and I look forward to watching "I am Bish" for a second time.
giselle_laramee This movie was hilarious! I went to this movie solely to support the writer and had no idea what to expect. I was expecting a cheesy, low-budget zombie movie (yuck!), and instead spent the entire time laughing my head off.Great movie which was, refreshingly, different and really really bizarre. What a treat to watch a movie that was done locally and on a (very) small budget and still deliver high-quality entertainment. What a coup to gather so many extras together without big salaries! I'm expecting this to join the ranks of the cult classic. well done Bish.
