Horror veteran Barry Bostwick stars with, Jonathan Silverman, Janet Varney, Kirsten Vangsness & More Star In The Indie Apocalyptic Comedy that is killing it in the film fest circuit. In fact, at the Austin Film Festival (AFF), the premier film festival recognizing writers’ and filmmakers’ contributions to film, television, and new media, announced the first slate of films included in the 2016 lineup. Included in that line up is the indie comedy Diani & Devine Meet the Apocalypse from Diani & Devine Productions in association with Ludicrous Productions.
Synopsis:
Two comedians. One apocalypse. When all power and communication systems mysteriously shut off, down on their luck comedians Gabriel Diani and Etta Devine pack up their things and hit the road in search of a safe haven to wait out the possible extinction event. Accompanied by their trusty dog Watson and their miserable cat Mrs. Peel, the duo must struggle against the mundane realities of the collapse of civilization while retaining their decency and rationality as the rest of humanity starts getting really, really weird.
Blending horrific events with sharp comedy, the film is written by and starring Gabriel Diani and Etta Devine (“The Selling,” “Huck Finn [Robotic Edition]”), the film is an apocalyptic comedy in the spirit of the old Bob Hope and Bing Crosby “road” movies about two struggling comedians who discover that surviving the apocalypse is almost as difficult as surviving Hollywood.
“We are thrilled to be making our world premiere at the Austin Film Festival,” stated producer/actor
Etta Devine. “We are excited to attend the festival and experience all that it has to offer, including Migas tacos, we can’t forget the tacos.”
