🛣️🔥 Frank and Penelope (2022): Love is a getaway—and hell is just a mile behind.

"They weren’t running from the world. They were running from themselves."

Frank and Penelope is a fever-dream road thriller, a neon-lit odyssey into obsession, redemption, and the dark corners of the American soul. Blending Tarantino-style grit with Southern Gothic surrealism, the film is a pulsing mix of love story and descent into madness—where every choice is a loaded gun, and every mile leads deeper into the unknown.

Frank (Billy Budinich), a man on the edge, has nothing left to lose. Penelope (Caylee Cowan), a dancer with secrets buried beneath her smile, has nothing left to fear. When their worlds collide in a rundown strip club, what begins as chance becomes something more feral, more dangerous—a connection born not from fate, but from fire.

On the run from their pasts and the law, the two set off across the Texas desert toward a mythical town promising freedom. But as night falls and the road stretches on, what they find isn't sanctuary—it's a living nightmare: a town ruled by a psychotic preacher, haunted motels, and people who wear masks both literal and spiritual.

Fueled by lust, rage, and the desperate hope that love might save them, Frank and Penelope becomes a twisted parable about sin, sacrifice, and the cost of escape.
