Storyline
Zach starves to produce an apocalyptic musical comedy. Doris and Jay starve to make a neo-noir thriller. Joy starves to write a comic book that the copy-shop won't copy because it's copyrighted to her. The street prophet starves because he has no food; but nobody listens to him because he's predicting the end of the world. Written by Allan Piper <allanpiper@aol.com>

I viewed this movie at the Sedona film Festival and met Piper there, wishing him good fortune for the movie. I think the movie was fantastic and i haven't stopped talking about it for three years. I would love a copy of it if anyone knows how i can reach Allen Piper or can obtain a copy please contact me.
I hope more people can enjoy this comedy in the future
