DIRECTOR/WRITER JOSEPH KELLY
Joseph Kelly, ignited by a teenage passion for filmmaking, studied Visual Communication: Television and Photography in Rochester, New York. He also acquired a Firefighter Endorsement with an EMT Certificate.
Currently pursuing studies in Business Administration and Law, Kelly continues to focus on film. In 2008, he debuted his first feature, "Community Service," during college. With decades of industry experience, Kelly now directs his sixth feature, "Clown Motel: 3."
Transitioning from low-budget films to collaborations with icons like Lady Gaga in "A Star is Born" and standing in for John Cena in "Bumblebee," Kelly brings vast expertise.
Inspired by classics such as "IT" and "Killer Klowns from Outer Space," alongside recent hits like "Terrifier," Kelly sees limitless potential in clowns and horror. "Clown Motel: 3" promises an ensemble cast of over 100 clowns.
Scheduled for Summer 2024, join us on this thrilling journey as Kelly breathes life into his newest vision!

What We Need & What You Get
"Clown Motel 3" is our biggest project yet, and it wouldn't be possible without all of you amazing supporters. We have some ambitious goals for this film, and while we've secured some funding outside of this campaign, we still need a successful Indiegogo to make our vision a reality. Your support means everything to us as we strive to bring you the best possible movie experience!
Our minimum goal on IndieGoGo is set at $100,000, and we’re just $27k away from reaching it!
We filmed on the BlackMagic URSA Mini Pro 12K for ultra-high definition quality and will deliver the final product with Dolby surround sound for an immersive experience.
Renting out the entire Clown Motel, expanding to six locations, and covering a 1,000-mile round trip—including accommodations and compensation for over 100 cast and crew over the 14-day shoot—came with significant costs. Your support helps make it all possible!
