From director Glenn Payne (Driven, Earthrise) and writer Casey Dillard (Driven, As I Lay Dying) comes Killer Concept, a horror-comedy starring Payne, Dillard, and Coley Bryant (Driven, Stargrassle Paranormal).

Mark (Glenn Payne), a voyeuristic photographer with a secret, is at first reluctant when aspiring cut-throat producer Seth (Coley Bryant) and true crime writer Holly (Casey Dillard) want him to help them make a movie about a local serial killer: after all, they might figure out that he is the murderer, but he figures it could be interesting. However, when rivalries, crushes, and outside influences begin to cloud his twisted mind it’s harder to tell if he’s in his own story or theirs.” With a primary cast and crew of five people,
