Reader Rating: (2 Votes)

Diani & Devine Meet the Apocalypse is an end of the world comedy about two struggling comedians who discover that surviving the end of humanity is almost as difficult as surviving pits Hollywood. Gabriel Diani and Etta Devine gives at least one reason to giggle at the possibility at the end of the world as this subversive comedy will leave you in tears of non-stop laughter throughout the entire film.

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. The cast includes an amazing roster of talent: BARRY BOSTWICK, RAMON DE OCAMPO, DAWN DIDAWICK, HARRY GROENER, ARMIN SHIMERMAN, JONATHAN SILVERMAN, KIRSTEN VANGSNESS, JANET VARNEY and more.

Gabriel Diani and Etta Devine are award-winning filmmakers, actors, and writers. Their first film, “The Selling,” premiered at the San Francisco International Film Festival, played at over 30 film festivals, was in the Top 10 of About.com’s Best Horror Movies of 2012, and received rave reviews from The Huffington Post, Ain’t It Cool News, and Filmthreat. Written by Gabe, the duo both produced and starred in the feature.
