Brief Description:

Cuisine de la ‘Pocalypse is a film about one chef's refusal to give up on his culinary dreams, even in the apocalypse. It’s a wacky take on the hero's journey that will make you feel like you've just rented a VHS from Blockbuster, cracked open a pop, and are about to kick back with your old gang. It was produced in the beautiful Bitterroot Valley by Local Montana filmmakers. Cuisine de la ‘Pocalypse stars Kevin Sorbo, Natasha Leggero, Emilio Rivera, Kevin Jack, Nelo Butler, Zuzu Weingart, Douglas “Hurricane” Hall, Mighet Matanane, Braeden Sorbo, and Darryl Chan. Written and Directed by Kyle Weingart.

Short Synopsis:

It started with zombies. Then came the robots. Then of course the robot zombies, but that was a mixture of the plague, and something that came off the asteroid that destroyed New York City, but I digress - The Apocalypse is here. For one chef named John, it will take more than the end of the world for him to give up on his dream of getting his cooking show “out there”. John lives in the Gilligan Island-esc town of New Missoula. After he uploads his show to a makeshift internet service, the apocalyptic town’s exact location becomes known to the world. New Missoula has no choice but to assemble a team of their strongest, most able-bodied citizens to manually stop the download. John? I said the strongest, didn’t I? He’s not invited. After all, what good is a chef in the apocalypse?
