Information/Write-up
Roadkill is a rock’n’road movie about a girl named Ramona who learns how to drive. Her boss, a rock promoter named Roy Seth, sends her into the wilds of Northern Ontario to cut short the mishandled tour of his renegade rock band The Children of Paradise. After a bungled beginning she finds herself stranded in Sudbury without the band, without her bag and without any money.
Ramona’s search for The Children of Paradise and for herself crosses the careening paths of four ambitious men; Bruce, an out of work movie director who searches instead for a bang-up ending to his obsessive documentary; Matthew, a disillusioned rock star on a spiritual quest, Russell, a loner trying to break into the competitive field of serial killing; and Luke, a boy who wants to be a man.
By the end of her strange journey, Ramona figures out how to give these men what they want. Ultimately, they get only what they deserve. As for Ramona, she finds a new purpose, a new identity — and she learns how to drive.
