Zodiac Killer Project

In this wholly original, self-aware cinematic work, the true crime boom is put under the microscope as filmmaker Charlie Shackleton (Beyond Clueless, Fear Itself) tells the story of his abandoned documentary about the infamous Zodiac Killer, describing beat-by-beat how he imagined it playing out. Over vacant Bay Area landscapes, stylized reenactments and clips from recent true crime hits, his wry voiceover conjures the unrealized project in real time, offering an object lesson in creative frustration and a hilarious critique of a genre at saturation point.
