Story ID help needed: Zombie wants to save his kid

I have a tantalizing story synopsis stuck in my head. I don’t know whether it’s a book, a comic, or a movie. The protagonist gets infected with zombie virus, and knows he’s going to become a zombie in a short time. He cleverly arranges things so his future zombie self will convey (carry?) his child (daughter?) to a safe place.

What is this story, best & brightest?

Sounds very similar to a Netflix movie I’m presently watching, called “Cargo”. It’s a very recent release.

Thanks, but that’s not it; this was from a year or two ago.

It’s definitely cargo. The short film came out a while ago, and it’s recently been redone as a longer feature, which is what Chefguy is probably watching. Really good stuff, especially for such a shopworn theme.

Here it is:

Oh yeah, that’s it (the short film). Thanks, guys!

So I nailed it in one, basically. My first!

Slight hijack:

If you’re into zombie films, “The Girl With All The Gifts,” comes highly recommended (Sicks Ate sez so, too).
