Writer-director Megan Freels Johnston’s suburban nightmare

The provocative psychological thriller stars Deanna Russo (
Being Human, Gossip Girl)
as Mary, who moves back to her suburban hometown after her husband gets
relocated for work. As her family ties up loose ends back home, she
moves into their new house alone. And although the move makes Mary
nostalgic for her youth, there’s something very sinister about that Ice
Cream Truck that patrols her suburb.

John Redlinger (Thirst, Banshee), Emil Johnsen (Isolerad), Hilary
Barraford (Go For Sisters), Jeff Daniel Phillips (31), and Lisa Ann

Storytelling is very much in Freels Johnston’s DNA. The granddaughter of legendary crime writer Elmore Leonard,
The Ice Cream Truck screenplay was a semi-finalist in the Circus Road Screenplay competition.
As a producer developing material for over a decade, Freels Johnston
worked on adaptations of her grandfather's work and produced Sparks, the
directorial debut of Joseph Gordon-Levitt. After completing a project
for the USA Network, she decided to follow her passion and write and
direct her own material. Her first film, 2014’s micro budget thriller
Rebound, developed a cult following on VOD, was called, “Almost David
Lynchian in its strangeness” by Film Threat and Rue Morgue said, the
film "(was) worth watching to the end for the unnervingly realistic
twist ending."
The Ice Cream Truck will be released in theaters and on VOD
August 18.
