Brains (2015–present) is an online found-footage YouTube web series that follows a fictional college student named Alison Sumner as she navigates the dating world post-zombie apocalypse. Season 1, comprised of ten 5-7 minute episodes, premiered in September 2015, and season 2 is set to premiere in September 2016.

The series was created and written by Long Island University-Brooklyn graduate student Bri Castellini. The first season has been featured in several film festivals. The series director is Andrew Williams, who also plays Edgar in season 2.

Season 1
Alison Sumner decides to finally do something about her crush on fellow student and head of the Student Security Force Damian, but she has one major reservation: he might be undead. She plows ahead with a two pronged plan: one, she employs several tactics to win his affects, and two, she investigates the possibility of his being undead. With the help of her confirmed undead best friend, Carl, all is going mostly according to plan until another student is murdered and Carl is framed and imprisoned for it. At this point, Alison adds a third prong to her plan: prove Carl innocent and discover the real killer.
