Our next feature, "Romance Road Killers" is kicking into gear. We currently have 100 or so photos, poster explorations and screen captures up, as well as opportunities for anybody that would like to get their name in the film (we know that's a long-shot, but it's a shot!).
And a very special thanks to Jo Blo's Arrow in the Head who says the movie "has one of the coolest sites for an indie in pre-production that I've seen. It grabs your attention, is easy to navigate, and gives you the info you want without a lot of useless bells and whistles."
Filming is scheduled to begin late February 2006, but the filmmakers already did some test shoots in September and November 2005, in which case we just finished some trailers/montage sequences that should hopefully be online soon!
For now you can check out the official site;

The film is loosely based on the Charles Starkweather/Caril Ann Fugate killing spree of 1958 in Nebraska (a 19 year old boy who took his 14 year girlfriend on a violent road trip - whether she actually contributed to any of the murders or was a hostage remains a mystery). This film has been updated to 1999, following Jacob Stahl, 19, and Isabelle Cassmen, 14, on a killing spree along the coasts of California. The backgrounds of the characters have been changed to explore an unusual case of child abuse, molestation, foster care and social workers, involving true incidents from the lives of filmmakers Shane Ryan and Emily Wryn (who, at 16 years old, looks to break the record as youngest female director for a feature film).
That's all for now.
