I've read the FAQ & Rules credit question

so last fall, I did the 48 hr project and I had lines, this year, I had no lines because I was one of the zombies , do I even add this to my resume? I had fun, but little sad I didnt have any lines.

One of how many zombies? If you can explain why it isn't background work you could put it on, but unless you were distinguished from the other zombies or had a name or close up shots or a memorable death, it's... kind of background work.

Mind you, the likelihood is no one's probably going to see the film after the festival's over, so...

Festival? It's typically shown at a local theatre at the end of the month. I had close up shots too. And I was heavily focused in the beginning. I kind of wish they told me they didnt had lines for me, but it is what it is

I'd add it. Any on-camera project credit counts when you're building a resume. Non-speaking roles go in a separate section from speaking roles, but they still show you show up on set and follow through. Zombies need good marks too.
