Roadkill Art is a webseries featuring John Criminger a self made South Carolina taxidermist, hunter, meat processor and chef of wild game, living off the land contending daily with different hunt seasons in order to support his four children and wife. John specialize in deer art, deer caught by hunters for the purpose of not only mounting but for eating. John an excellent game meat chef, in webisodes 2 & 7, shares his recipes for deer kabobs and duck stew. Roadkill Art not only informs about the art of a taxidermist but also entertains with a bit of roadkill fun.  

After more than two decades of being a funny girl, Wilhelmina commercial model and stage, TV, film, actress (ELLY MAY) Janet Arneau had an accident of fate.  After already appearing in more than 40 theatrical productions and 16 films with additional stints on TV programs like “Rescue Me” also booking principal roles in commercials like, Ford, Burger King, Pier One, Payless Shoes and Mohegan Sun Casino’s packing her resume with experience in front of the camera the tides turned and she jumped behind the camera beginning to produce, create and write content for television.

With an interest and love for people who have devoted their lives to interesting endeavors Taxidermist caught Janet (ELLY MAY’S) attention, due to the ability they provide to get up close and personal to animals only seen from afar. Animals that are so beautiful and safe to pet! 

With Janet’s love for creating and producing television content, interesting people and wild animals “Roadkill Art” came rolling off the drawing board. Janet believes people do not know what it takes to take an animal no longer with us and bring it back to life making it look as real as possible. Taxidermist are artist like no other, the underestimated and over looked artist working every day to give the opportunity to learn about and touch wild animals. Janet has learned how unique and individualist Taxidermist are specializing in different sects of animals some  only work with sea creatures, some animals from the cat family, or only birds, or fish, some specialize in busts or antlers. There are so many Taxidermist’s art Janet believes the world should see so she is going to not only show you this art but show you with fun. 

Together we will learn about the art of taxidermy and facts about the animal being featured in Janet’s new webseries “Roadkill Art”.

Janet is seeking funding for 13 webisodes which will be 15 minutes in length and she will cut a short version of each webisode which will be 3 minutes in length. The traditional route for a creator and producer of television content is to pitch for distribution to television network’s who in turn provide the money to shoot episodes, the network then owns the project and is the boss. This is great, as we all know there are many network shows on television, but Janet is individualistic with her own ideas and vision capable of getting all of the necessary work done in order to show the skill and art of 13 unique taxidermist exactly as she sees it, being her own boss.  

Janet will create an image for the taxidermist artist through the webseries showing taxidermy is a true art, has a comical side and can be used to educate people about animals they will never see except through taxidermy. 

The funding is going to be used to hire a crew of 5 plus pay the roadkill chef and travel expenses. The budget is moderate the crew will be made of people who live in areas where the cost of living permits them to work at the rate provided. 

Even if the entire funding needed for 13 webisodes is not raised, what is raised will go to producing as many webisodes as possible.

The greatest thing about Indiegogo is it allows a project to be shared with many great people and involves everyones great & unique minds.
