Join Sundance Collab and filmmaker Charlie Shackleton for a conversation about storytelling outside of the box, the art and craft of documentary filmmaking, and tackling the true crime genre. His film Zodiac Killer Project will premiere in the 2025 Sundance Film Festival’s NEXT section. You can get tickets in-person or online here.

About Zodiac Killer Project: 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 Festival’s NEXT program showcases “pure, bold works distinguished by an innovative, forward-thinking approach to storytelling…Unfettered creativity promises that the films in this section will shape the greater next wave in global cinema.” You can view the films in this section here.
