Synopsis
A twisted art film disguised as a 1970s drive-in film, 'Kill the Moonlight' follows Chance, a fish hatchery worker, toxic waste cleaner and aspiring race car driver, whose goal in life is to fix up his stock car and follow his dreams of speedway glory. Director Steve Hanft, captures the life of a complete and total loser stock car racer in slices of life as the loser's surreal illegal days unfold in a different kind of narrative that casually leaves out plot and resolution.
