Shot in 16 mm with an original soundscore by Frederick Reed IV, it sets the stage for a feature film project. The screenplay was optioned by veteran independent producer Ben Barenholtz ("Barton Fink", "Miller's Crossing", "Georgia", and "Requiem for a Dream"). The feature version was never realised yet. Edger Oliver, a prolific playwrite, continues to write provocative masterpieces for the stage, page & screen.

Some children count license plates on long car trips -- Luther counts dead bodies. On a desparate car trip north, Mother and son leave a trail of blood and candy that stretches to a decadent and mysterious seaside resort: MOTEL BLUE 19. A gothic fairy tale of carney madness, it is based on an original stage play by Edgar Oliver, which premiered at La MaMa Theatre in 1991.
