Sundance Award-Winning Documentary ‘Zodiac Killer Project’ Acquired by Music Box (EXCLUSIVE)


Music Box has acquired U.S. rights to "Zodiac Killer Project," Charlie Shackleton's true-crime documentary that premiered at Sundance Film Festival.

“Zodiac Killer Project” is “a sly, sideways spin on the true crime genre, fashioned by a filmmaker who lovingly critiques the tropes and cliches of the form with a connoisseur’s eye,” according to a statement. Using Bay Area landscapes, stylized b-roll and archival material to tell the story of an abandoned documentary about the infamous and still unsolved serial murders of the late 1960s, Shackleton’s film is “an improbable resurrection that blends ruminative speculation and chilling anecdotes with a melancholic air of irresolution.” The sale of the film’s U.S. distribution was negotiated by Brian Andreotti of Music Box and Jason Ishikawa at Cinetic Media on behalf of the filmmakers.
