EXHIBITION INFORMATION
def: roadkill = a one-night stand or a funny new way to view the hilarious “first meeting”. In the tv business it’s also the term for a failed pitch.

ROAD KILL is a reality-based comedy where two forty-something women, Terry and Elspeth, dream up imaginary and ridiculous projects in their never-ending quest to snag younger men. The three skits shown here include: My Imaginary Husband (where Terry pretends to have gotten married in Mexico); Tom’s Pole (where the two visit a pole company to get a flag pole made for their drinking flag); and The Dog House (where Terry and Elspeth go to Dick’s Lumber to get some young guys to build them a dog house).

A Special International Women’s Day Presentation: 2 Screenings and Cougar Party with Elspeth Sage and Terry Ewasiuk. Join Elspeth, Terry and the rest of the Stridettes in their natural habitat for a fascinating look into the exploits of these two shameless cougars in action.
