Three people (Anthony Taft, Kyle Bavis, Bob River)) have been murdered in especially gruesome ways, three others (Robyn Paul Nelson, Nate Marcum, Kyle Bavis) have been kidnapped, and what links them all together is they've all been film festival judges, and they have all judged a certain short film director called Bryon Jones rather poorly. Thing is, all evidence our two lead detectives (Vince Hobart Smith, Hasan Hamad) have against him is circumstantial at best, and they're playing against time. So they haul in a bunch of people (Beth Metcalf, Theo White, Jessica Lorraine, Jason Wray) connected to both the suspect and the victims for questioning - a good idea in itself, only all the interviewees are actors ...

It starts out like the perfect serial killer movie, one with the obligatory veteran and rookie cop in the leads, with suitably gruesome murders, and of course a tailormade suspect with a far-fetched motive - and it's only gradually that the film reveals itself as a satire on the indie filmfest scene, including namedropping the film's writer/director as a key suspect and the questioning of the actors that goes into rather hilarious directions. Now this is not a moronic parody, nor is it laugh-out-loud funny (with a few hilarious exceptions that is), but as subtle genre comedy with a showbiz edge it's really almost irresistible, especially to the dedicated indie movie connoisseur.
