Zodiac Killer Project + Q&A

Join us for a post-screening Q&A with filmmaker, Charlie Shackleton. 

Having tried and failed to make a true crime documentary, filmmaker Charlie Shackleton tells the story of what might have been.

In this wholly original, self-aware cinematic work, the true crime boom is put under the microscope as filmmaker Charlie Shackleton 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, stylised re-enactments and clips from recent true crime hits, his wry voiceover conjures the unrealised project in real time, offering an object lesson in creative frustration—and a hilarious critique of a genre at saturation point.
