Alexander Whitrow's debut film Roadkill is a thriller rather than a horror movie — but things took an unexpected turn during filming when his uncle was involved in a light plane crash.
abc.net.au/news/roadkill-movie-to-premiere-after-plane-crash-during-filming/102230602As a film director, Alexander Whitrow is no stranger to drama — but even someone with his cinematic sense could not have anticipated the set of his debut movie becoming the scene of a devastating real-life plane crash.
"We basically saw the plane come up one side of the verandah and then tumbling down and smashing," Alexander said."Seeing a plane crash is terrifying — the only thing more terrifying than that is knowing that your uncle is in it." As he moved his hand, the plane started to nosedive "and by the time I'd recovered I looked out the window [and saw] power lines, high-tension power lines, and trees".
"We ran over to him unsure whether the plane was about to explode, it was really messy," Alexander said. "Both my ankles were crushed and, on my right foot, I had severed all three arteries feeding my foot," he said.But, remarkably, within a few days the filming of Roadkill had resumed.
