Short film The Toll Road, written by Richard Galazka and directed by Tom Riley, now has an IMDb page. Shot in California early March 2018, and starring Lizzy Caplan, Martin Starr and Anthony Carrigan, the film is now in edit.

Hopefully a synopsis will be revealed soon.

Tom Riley shared photos on Instagram of himself in The Toll Road edit room, with the people from Kids At Play. Short film The Toll Road was written by Richard Galazka, directed by Tom Riley, and stars Lizzy Caplan, Martin Starr and Anthony Carrigan. It was shot in California back in March 2018, before Tom started filming Dark Heart. Apart from the obvious reference in the film title, we don't actually know the synopsis. 

I made a little film in California the last few days. Or shot one anyway. ...The next bit is a whole new chance to blow it. BUT what we got this week exceeded what I saw in my wildest imagination.

Thank you so much to all the friends, old and new, who gave up their time and energy to realise what was a nigh on impossible schedule.

The actors - @martinstarr, #billygardell, @carriganagain and the unbelievable lead actress who couldn’t say no if she’d wanted to.

Tom Riley tweeted the other day about currently baking something nuts in the US, and we finally have a little more information about it. I had hoped Tom would share a set photo, but luckily George Guzman has kindly been posting updates on Instagram. Sadly no photos of Tom.
