"We're so excited to have the opportunity to work with Keith, someone we feel understands horror in the same way that we do- a genre that encourages risk, rewards creativity, and speaks to our shared fears,” says James and Chelsea. “Horror is also an incredible space for collaboration and shared creative knowledge. We see that ethos echoed here in this campaign, and in our personal experiences with Keith. Making educational opportunities available through this campaign is going to prove invaluable to aspiring artists, particularly performers- Chelsea has taken voiceover courses through PCB and has benefited immensely from them. The personal touches and desire to give back to other creatives, coupled with Frost Road's killer style and timely story, are why we're so incredibly honored to be on board."

Once funded, the Frost Road campaign will officially reveal tiered stretch goals along with their partnership with Dead Meat, to produce an ongoing series of dramatic episodes directly from the pages of the book.

The story of Frost Road is described as:

A small coastal town is devastated by an invisible contagion. A man awakens from a car accident to discover he is one of few survivors in the aftermath of a mysterious outbreak that has wiped out the small town of Frost Road. Somehow immune to the deadly waves, he tries to save the remaining survivors from themselves, as he desperately struggles to prevent the deadly signal from spreading across the planet...

“Frost Road draws inspiration from real events impacting our oceans and marine life.” says creator Keith Arem. “I wanted to explore the horror and tragedy of these issues in a way that resonates on a deeply human level.“
