Anna and the Apocalypse Filming Locations Guide

Anna and the Apocalypse is a funny and gritty mix of genres, including high school comedy, horror, action, and musical, described as 'Shaun of the Dead meets La La Land'.

In a world where Justin Bieber is turned into a zombie, Anna and her friends will have to fight, sing and dance their way out through the hordes of undead during the Christmas season.

The movie was produced by a small independent Scottish studio, following the idea of the deceased young film director Ryan McHenry, who wrote in 2010 an awarded short film called Zombie Musical.

Before its premiere, Anna and the Apocalypse was featured in all the major fantastic film festivals in the world, like Austin's Fantastic Fest or Sitges Film Festival. Ella Hunt (Cold Feet, Robot Overlords), is starring in this comedy along with Malcolm Cumming, Mark Benton (The Halcyon, Waterloo Road), and Paul Kaye (Game of Thrones).
