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.

Megan Freels
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.”
Megan Freels Johnston, the grand daughter of author Elmore Leonard, wrote and produced REBOUND in 2014. Since then she’s produced shorts and telemovies, returning only to the big screen this year with THE ICE CREAM TRUCK, a very unique and original horror thriller about a young woman who discovers that the ice cream truck patrolling her suburb is linked to a series of murders.
Megan’s screenplay for the film was a semi-finalist in the Circus Road Screenplay competition.
