"When people invest emotionally, anything is possible," says Peter Leovic (picture), writer and director of the new indie psychological thriller, Roadman. That's the basis on which Leovic and producer/director of photography Stephen Prime made their feature debut. Set in suburban Adelaide, the thriller follows the story of Max (Travis McMahon), a serial killer who falls for Lorraine (Georgii Speakman), the girl across the road. "I'd been scratching around with this idea of a serial killer that falls for his neighbour," Leovic says. "What attracted me to this was the notion that a brutal man could start to believe love could save him from his demons.

Micro budget psychological thriller Roadman is to have its premiere in Adelaide next month after a 16 year journey from script.
Written and directed by Peter Leovic and produced by Stephen Prime, the 25 day shoot was mainly crewed by past and present students of Adelaide’s Maps – Media Arts Production Skills – Film School along with local collective Urtext.
It features Travis McMahon, who co-starred in Kokoda, as a serial killer who finds the love of a good woman.
Roadman will premiere at the Palace Nova Cinema in Adelaide on October 21, with the DVD and digital downloads of the film going on sale on the same day.
According to Prime, who teaches part time at Maps, the main obstacle to overcome was the budget. He said: “The budget was incredibly tight. And very few experienced players were putting their hands up to go around the block with us.
