Joe Heath
On a website on the internet there lived a Joe. Not a hot, caffeinated Joe, splashed with cream and a roasty smell, nor yet a cotton-eyed Joe with over-played lyrics and a catchy beat: it was a writer Joe, and that means humor. Or something. Joe Heath writes, directs, films, produces, and acts in short films, sketches, and movie reviews for Minty Pineapple Entertainments. He also writes novels with friends under the name J. Bartholomew Hivemind. Recently he has been writing pop culture articles for Looper and The Dipp. His work has been featured in the Chattanooga Film Festival, Nashville Film Festival, Ha! Film Fest, Frightening Ass Film Fest, Project Alpha's Short Ends, Culture Smash Nashville, 54 Film Fest, OneCloudFest, and Con Nooga.
ROAD TRIPPY tells the story of Abigail Berkeley, who falls asleep while driving and accidentally hits a hitchhiker, Samantha Poots. Sam is on the run from some pretty weird stuff including a demonic ex-boyfriend, brain-swapping drugs, and a surprisingly vicious zebra. All Abigail wants to do is give her presentation on paperclips, but Sam seizes the opportunity to fill her life with chaos. Together they meet a handful of desert weirdos, such as Merle (owner of the 24-hour Beef Jerky, Live Snake and Hardcore Porno Emporium), Bobby Bill (a lovably corrupt small-town sheriff), and Big Toni (a freelance truck-driving assassin and pain-photographer). They get involved in a high-stakes Scrabble tournament, crash a few cars, visit a deadly waterslide theme park, and uncover the terrible cost of obtaining a Philosopher’s Stone. It’s gonna be a long trip. The perfect opportunity to become best friends, whether Abigail wants to or not.
