Against the backdrop of sunbaked parking lots, deserted courthouses, and empty suburban homes - the familiar spaces of true crime, stripped of all action and spectacle - a filmmaker describes his abandoned Zodiac Killer documentary and probes the inner workings of a genre at saturation point.
The true crime genre’s ubiquity is driven by people’s endless fascination, disgust, and - bizarrely -search for comfort in genre conventions that still have the ability to generate complex emotions despite their predictability and familiarity. In this wholly original, self-aware cinematic work, filmmaker and multimedia artist Charlie Shackleton dissects the true crime genre by recreating it. Using Bay Area landscapes, archival material, reenactments, film and TV clips, and voice-over to walk the viewer through what his film would have been like and why, this film is a captivating and entertaining experience that will forever change how you watch your next murder programme.
