Author: Dennis Lanson

When filmmaker Victor Gaines has his script rejected for the umpteenth time, he resolves to make his film Roadkill on his own. In this "memoir" about his ensuing trials, and triumphs, he has his negative stolen and finds himself lied to by a wide assortment of unscrupulous producers. He forges a family enterprise of actors and crew, all working for nothing, on a noirish tale about two men who are doubles, one a history teacher running from his wife with a student lover, and the other a murderer.

A lightly fictionalized telling of the author's actual experience. A must-read for all would-be filmmakers, and an insightful exploration into the passion of the creative psyche.
