                       The Story

In the small town of Hell, Michigan everyone knows the name "Andy Peterson".  He was a  man obsessed with drilling oil, or so the story goes.   An obsession that eventually drove him mad, killing his wife and daughter before finally turning the chainsaw on himself. 

That's the story the locals will tell you, but no one really knows what drove him mad. 

Fast Forward 67 years...

Lydia DeSoto is coming home to Hell to plan the wedding to her fiance, Jay.  However, her homecoming soon becomes horrifying when Jay ingests a killer parasite.  Jay quickly loses control unleashing a killing spree on the town.  Now Lydia must battle the one she loves to save the town.  

Road Kill is a Hot Rod / Sci Fi / Creature Feature set in America's hot rod heartland. The story is best described as The Exorcist meets American Graffitti on the Highway to Hell complicated by a three way romance. With qualities everyone can enjoy; compelling story, intriguing characters, hot rod action and a creature that will turn you inside out.

Konstantinos (Dino) Kovas

 A filmmaker and editor, Dino returns to his Michigan stomping grounds to make the film that's been playing in his head for the past ten years, Road Kill. Hot rods, monster terror, beautiful women and rock and roll combined in just the right proportions to scare  you to death!

Len Puch

Len and his cohorts over at Speedcult  specialize in custom metal work and fabrication.  Designing and building everything from signage and furniture to Hot Rods and Rollercoasters, Speedcult never dabbles in the mundane.  Len’s unique skill set as part of the team will bring the world of Road Kill to life.

Dan Quarnstrom

DQ is a veteran animation and  visual effects designer who "builds on paper".  Whether it's hot rods and monsters, architecture and set designs, or storyboards and graphics, DQ brings it all into focus.  The world of Road Kill provides the canvas for his imagination to run wild.


Shaggy LeBlanc

The owner of Shaggy's Raticals , Shaggy is a fabricator and painter, and is our 'go to guy' for all things hot rod for Road Kill. With an air brush in one hand and an acetelyne torch in the other, Shaggy's keen eye and steady hand will bring this wild world into view.

Patrick Halpin

Patrick is the owner of Dead Pretzel FX + Illustration.  A graduate of Tom Savini's Special Effects Make Up Program, Patrick has worked on various projects ranging from film and television, to theatre and graphic novels. One could say that Patrick is the heart, blood and guts of Road Kill.


Below is a sneak-peak at the final 'Car Chase' scene.  These are our preliminary storyboards in order to be better prepared when we shoot the scene:


Below is a 30 second creature test that we shot so that we could begin preliminary Animation and Lighting on "The Fracker":

Once our Creature Test was finished, we wanted to test out a few types of film stock.  Using footage from the two tests, we edited the clip below to further help us develop the 'look and feel' for Road Kill.

When will the perks be delivered?
For perks involving merchandise such as t-shirts and posters, we have listed an estimated delivery date.  For perks involving visits to the Road Kill set,  these  will be handled as the filmmaking process progresses and the completion of the film, so be sure to check back here for updates!  Perks such as attending the premiere and hotel accommodations will be arranged individually with that contributor.  
What are the shipping costs for merchandise items?
No worries here, we will cover the shipping costs.  US and international!  
What if no estimated delivery time is listed in the perk? 
This is because the perk is dependent on completion of the film.  Once we know the completion date, these perks will be updated.  
How do I find out about T-shirt sizes? 
We will email you regarding the size of your T-shirt.  You do not need to know the size when ordering the perk.  
I have moved to a new address, will I still get my perks?  
Absolutely! Just send us an email us at info@roadkillthefilm.com so we can update our records. 
What if I change my email? 
No problem.  Just send us an email at info@roadkillthefilm.com with your new email address.
When will filming begin?  
As of now, we are scheduled to begin filming in the fall of 2015.  But that's all dependent on reaching our campaign goal!
Where will my name be listed on the movie credits?
We will have a Thank you section at the end of our film where you can find your name.  Please let us know how you would like your name to appear on our credits.  
Are you keeping the money if you don't make your goal or do you give it back?
We will use the funds that are raised for the production of Road Kill.  If our goal is not met, we will seek additional funding by other methods.
Why do I need my shipping address for the digital perks?
We need the shipping information, because that will include your region code (country) that we need for our VAT (value added tax) breakdown for accounting. On the Indiegogo page that is the only way to get that information from you guys. That’s why we are asking it in all the perks, even if they will be digitally delivered.

Spread the word for Roadkill.  Tell your friends, your family, wear your t-shirt!
