Apocalypse... Now?

Apocalypse... Now? is a dark romantic comedy with political satire intended to make people laugh, but also have them open their eyes to a bigger issue that plagues the United States. 

It follows a door-to-door salesperson who sells End Of The World Plan B policies. During a visit to a Central New York town, Justine starts to develop a possibly romantic connection with a local guy. She shows him that the world doesn't just revolve around the U.S. while he shows her that it's okay to take time to slow down and appreciate the moment around you.

We should not be fighting each other's differences, but embracing them. The world is a beautiful place, and it is our responsibility to make it better for everyone that inhabits it.

Be aggressively progressive.

Pumky would like to thank everyone.

Pumky love you.
