The Story
In the fall of 1981, Lanny Brown, a waitress of small town, Midway, finds herself stranded on the roadside, headed back from her broken down, drag of a job. A hardened transient, Eddie Dewar, seemingly hitching his way out of town. A maniacal Serial Killer rampant amongst the community, sets the back drop of our story, making this is the last place anyone would want to cross paths.
Is this the beginning of the end for the kindness of strangers? Only one way to know...
DRIVE ME HOME is the newest short film from filmmaker, writer, and actor, Jaclyn Fleming.
It's a story of suspense- When a serial killer wreaks havoc amongst the unwitting population, exacting a spree and causing terror wherever they go. Set in a time period where technology was thought to be "advanced", this movie captures the deep feeling of isolation and fear when there's really no way to communicate with anyone at moment's notice, especially when it's needed most. Drawing inspiration from neo-noir films of the time, coupled with modern tales of psychopathy, this film encapsulates a visceral journey for the audience.
WHY TELL DRIVE ME HOME?
In a time where so many are struggling to balance being a creative in our industry with keeping a roof over their heads, combined with the pressure of every day living, art and storytelling is more important than ever. I believe that films, books, television and art of every medium takes the pain and suffering of life and turns it into magic we can be enveloped in. Without a spark of magic and belief in something more, we can easily lose sight of how much we have. 
Jaclyn Fleming is a former Canadian Darling, hailing from Toronto, Canada, living in Los Angeles, CA. She created Ginger Gremlin Productions when she started creating sketches, which grew into something more, when she began diving into the world of filmmaking.
Coming off the heels of the award winning short, ARE YOU THERE? I realized how in love I was with not only acting in films, but creating stories and worlds that invite other creatives to share and for audiences to live in.
I believe that every day we get to create is a gift. Every opportunity we have to work within our field, we have the ability to make magic together. This is a world where we can experience joy with one another and it is reflective in the end result of the work.

This fundraiser is to cover the labor of our talented cast and crew and the entirety of production:
Worker wages: This includes our incredible director, phenomenal cinematographer, the lighting, sound, and camera teams, a makeup artist, a set dresser, and folks to keep everyone safe during stunts.
Production Expenses/Rentals&Materials: Any non-labor expenses needed while we are filming, including permits, set decoration, hard drives (for storing footage), costumes, props, and renting gear such as specific camera lenses, lights, or audio equipment.
Food: Our team will be working full days, so we want them to be properly fed—meals and snacks!
Post Production: This consists of the team that pieces all of our footage together, including our editor, colorist, composer and sound mixer.
Insurance: We must do our due diligence! This covers insurance costs to ensure everyone is safe and sound on set to avoid anything getting in the way of making magic on shoot days.
Cast: This is to cover the other actors in this film, not myself.
As writer, actor, and filmmaker, I am not taking any kind of paycheck. I'm also putting in my own time, money, and effort into the project.
If this film can reach the funding goals I've set out to, DRIVE ME HOME will shoot in late September/Early October. It's a big undertaking for one person, but we're only here for a short time, so we must make the most of what life we have. This movie is an ode to my deep love and passion for film and horror, specifically. I hope it's the beginning of many more projects, including some feature films I've begun working on.
I'm so grateful for your time and for being on this journey with me. Help me make something we can all be proud of. Let's make magic.
