Now Available: African Genesis: Reclaiming the Lost Foundations of Human Civilization

A journey through heritage, resilience, and the echoes of ancestral wisdom.

This book isn’t just a story; it’s a reclamation. African Genesis explores the roots of identity, the power of memory, and the voices that history tried to silence. With lyrical prose and layered insight, it invites readers to reflect, remember, and rise.

Synopsis:

Journey to humanity’s birthplace, the Great Rift Valley, where early innovators shaped language, art, and technology. From the Kingdom of Kush’s towering pyramids to Great Zimbabwe’s stone marvels and the Swahili coast’s global trade routes, African Genesis reclaims a legacy of brilliance long overlooked.

Most provocative is the Dogon people of Mali, whose ancient knowledge of the Sirius star system, including the invisible Sirius B, raises cosmic questions. Their oral traditions speak of sky-born beings called the Nommo, challenging our understanding of African wisdom and humanity’s place in the universe.

This book restores wonder and complexity to African history, revealing the continent not just as the cradle of humanity, but as civilization’s first great laboratory.

About the author:

Patrick Chouinard is an author and researcher based in the Ozarks, where ancient valleys fuel his quest to uncover truths mainstream academia often overlooks. His work explores Ozark folklore, lost civilizations, cryptid encounters, and unexplained archaeological anomalies with the rigor of a cultural anthropologist and the curiosity of a truth-seeker.

Chouinard challenges conventional narratives, investigating controversial topics like ancient giants, UFO phenomena, and dragon mythology across cultures. His books, including Lost Race of the Giants and Wrath of the Dragons, invite readers to rethink history and consider humanity’s deeper mysteries.

African Genesis: Reclaiming the Lost Foundations of Human Civilization is available on Amazon in eBook, Paperback, and Audiobook. Click link - https://amzn.to/3WHNY0Z

September Statistics & Announcements

Here are some stats for the month of September. The market volatility continues to impact the streaming landscape and our clients. The hope is that the market will correct itself and bring some revenue back to independent films and filmmakers.  

This is also a post where we make announcements. 

The monthly reports include many stats. We hope they provide a deeper look at some of our best-performing titles. 

Here are the stats.

*Top Amazon Streaming RENTALS (US) for the month:

#1 Bigfoot: The Evidence Files

#2 Bigfoot: The Legend is Real

#3 Bigfoot Witness

*Top Amazon Streaming RENTALS (Rest of World) last 30 days:

#1 Bigfoot Witness: The Jason Morse Story

#2 Searching for Sasquatch: She-Squatchers

#3 Searching For Sasquatch

*Top Overall Rentals of the month (includes all streaming services):

SURPRISE OF THE MONTH

#3 Almost Live Season 1

*On Amazon (US), our overall watch minutes were slightly up when compared to the previous month, with over 27 total watch hours. The overall watch time on Amazon is down from previous years, but no doubt it is due to the growth of free-to-watch services.

Zombie Media will continue to present titles on Amazon to help ensure the success of filmmakers. In fact, we reach Amazon services and territories that were never available through Slate. 

* Top Books for the month:

#1 The History of Mason Barney's Shipyard and Swansea, Massachusetts by Easterboorks & Neville

#2 The DogMan: The Michigan Monster by J.E. Shook

We plan to offset some of this with marketing. We believe that additional streaming services will rise to the occasion and contribute to compensating filmmakers for this loss of income. We also encourage all filmmakers and authors to self-promote. 

Thanks for the support. 

Let's Keep Pushing!

To Our Clients, Fans, and Supporters

To Our Clients, Fans, and Supporters

We want to make you aware of a troubling development affecting many independent filmmakers: Tubi has begun removing a significant number of indie titles from its platform. This follows a series of changes initiated by its new CEO over the past year (click here), changes that have already impacted filmmakers and distributors alike, including a sharp reduction in revenue shares. Once a leader in supporting independent creators, Tubi’s payout structure has now dropped to industry averages or below, leaving many in the creative community struggling.

Now, with the removal of numerous independent films, including several distributed by Zombie Media, it’s clear that the platform is shifting away from the very voices that helped build its reputation. While Tubi still offers value and visibility for some creators, the change in direction is noticeable and troubling. Sadly, we’ve seen similar moves before, most notably with Amazon’s pivot away from indie content. 

At Zombie Media, we are actively fighting for our filmmakers. We’ve reached out to multiple streaming platforms in search of new opportunities. While most responses have been silent, one platform, despite branding itself as a champion of independent film, replied with a rejection. This only underscores the challenges we face.

But we’re not backing down.

Zombie Media is more than a distributor; we’re a partner in marketing, promotion, and advocacy. We will continue to push forward, seeking new deals and building bridges wherever possible. However, we can’t do it alone. We need every filmmaker, producer, actor, and crew member to help amplify our titles. Share links, post on social media, and help us grow our audience. Every view counts. Every voice matters.

While Tubi may be stepping away from independent film, other platforms are stepping up. Services like Fawsome TV, The Roku Channel, Xumo, Plex, and Stash TV are proving to be more welcoming, and we’re working to expand our presence across these networks.

We anticipated a streaming shake-up years ago, and while this moment is difficult, it’s not the end. Zombie Media remains committed to our clients and their work. We will continue to pitch, promote, and pursue revenue growth because your stories deserve to be seen.

We’ve already made improvements, including the addition of a “Partner with Us” link on our website, making it easier for streaming platforms to connect with us. Our advertising efforts continue across social media and targeted websites.

Yes, this is a challenging time. But hard times don’t last, people do. And Zombie Media will keep fighting, keep building, and keep pushing forward.

Many Zombie Media titles remain available on Tubi, and we still recognize it as a viable platform. However, the shift in direction is noticeable. We remain hopeful that the winds of change will return Tubi to its more indie-friendly roots.

Thank you for standing with us.

The History of Mason Barney's Shipyard and Swansea, Massachusetts

The History of Mason Barney's Shipyard and Swansea, Massachusetts

Carl Sagan once said, “To read is to voyage through time.” This book is your boarding pass to the colonial heart of Swansea, Massachusetts, a place where myth, industry, and faith converged on the banks of the Palmer River.

Step into the bustling world of Mason Barney’s legendary shipyard, where over 150 vessels were crafted by hand, from nimble fishing boats to towering ships of over 1,000 tons. Discover the rise of Barneyville, once known as Bungtown, a thriving maritime hub where coopers shaped barrels, cannons were loaded for distant voyages, and shipyard tokens passed between calloused hands.

Explore the founding of the First Baptist Church in Massachusetts, a beacon of spiritual resilience amid the tides of change. Encounter tales of sea monsters and mermaids whispered along the docks, and trace the names and purchases recorded in a rare 48-page Swansea general store ledger, an intimate glimpse into daily colonial life.

From pirates and privateers to the quiet strength of local families, this book offers a richly detailed portrait of a community shaped by saltwater, timber, and tenacity. Through archival records, folklore, and firsthand accounts, the author invites readers to experience the soul of early Swansea, not just as history, but as living memory.

Authors Russell Easterbrooks and Holly Easterbrooks Neville have packed this book with historic imagery and rich, compelling content. An immersive blend sure to captivate curious minds and spark lasting fascination.

Available in eBook, Paperback, and Audiobook. (Hardcover edition coming in the future.)
