DIRECTOR/WRITER JOSEPH KELLY

Joseph Kelly, ignited by a teenage passion for filmmaking, studied Visual Communication: Television and Photography in Rochester, New York. He also acquired a Firefighter Endorsement with an EMT Certificate.

Currently pursuing studies in Business Administration and Law, Kelly continues to focus on film. In 2008, he debuted his first feature, “Community Service,” during college. With decades of industry experience, Kelly now directs his sixth feature, “Clown Motel: 3.”

Transitioning from low-budget films to collaborations with icons like Lady Gaga in “A Star is Born” and standing in for John Cena in “Bumblebee,” Kelly brings vast expertise.

Inspired by classics such as “IT” and “Killer Klowns from Outer Space,” alongside recent hits like “Terrifier,” Kelly sees limitless potential in clowns and horror. “Clown Motel: 3” promises an ensemble cast of over 100 clowns.

Scheduled for Summer 2024, join us on this thrilling journey as Kelly breathes life into his newest vision!

What We Need & What You Get

“Clown Motel 3” is our biggest project yet, and it wouldn’t be possible without all of you amazing supporters. We have some ambitious goals for this film, and while we’ve secured some funding outside of this campaign, we still need a successful Indiegogo to make our vision a reality. Your support means everything to us as we strive to bring you the best possible movie experience!

• Our Minimum goal on IndieGoGo is set at $100,000. We will be filming the RED! – Ultra High Definition and provide final deliverables with Dolby surround sound for an immersive experience!
• Also, renting out the entire Clown Motel, expanding to a half dozen locations, and covering a 1000-mile round trip with accommodations and compensation for approximately 50-75 cast and crew during the entire 14-day film shoot, all comes at a considerable cost!

• We’ve got perks galore! From getting the movie itself to owning a prop straight from the set, or even snagging a spot to be in the movie, the options are endless! And hey, if you don’t spot a perk, you may be interested in, just shoot us a message. We’re all ears and ready to make your Clown Motel dreams come true! Even spend a night at the ‘Scariest Motel in America’ – while filming!
