Roach Trip

A quiet, odd little road movie that turns creeping dread into tender, funny companionship and leaves you sitting with your own loneliness.

Directed by

Clare McNulty

Starring

Clare McNulty, Chris Fleming, Noah James

Overview

Freshly out of a relationship and questioning her future as an actress, Clare sets off alone on a late-night desert drive from Los Angeles back home to Tucson. When she stops for gas at dusk, an uninvited passenger quietly climbs aboard — a large cockroach with nowhere better to be. What starts as a panic-inducing nightmare slowly transforms into something unexpected: an unlikely companionship that forces Clare to confront her loneliness, her grief, and the messy, uncontrollable nature of life itself.
