We All Need To Avoid ‘The Killer’

Solitary, cold, methodical and unencumbered by scruples or regrets, a killer waits in the shadows, watching for his next target. Yet, the longer he waits, the more he thinks he’s losing his mind, if not his cool. The Killer premieres at The Venice Film Festival in Competition!
The Killer streams now on Netflix–one of our own Alumni Nic Jones (BFA-Lighting 08′) is the lighting programmer!
