Once Make-Out With Violence screens at IFFBoston on Friday, zombies will no longer be left in the corner. Traversing the tough territory of juxtaposing human emotion and unfulfilled romance with the, um, "realities" of an archetype straight out of a George A. Romero flick seems like an overwhelming task.
