Romance Road Killers kicks into gear
AlterEgo Cinema‘s next feature, Romance Road Killers is kicking into gear and they already have over 100 photos, poster explorations and screen captures online – as well as an opportunity for anybody that would like to get their name in the film.
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) – and 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).
Filming is scheduled to begin late February 2006, but the filmmakers have already done some test shoots from which they have just completed some trailers/montage sequences which will hopefully be online soon.
