How close must be the artist to the piece they’re working on? In Killer Concept (2021), three creatives team up to write a screenplay chronicling a string of murders in their town, but one of the three may be closer to the story than the others realize.

Mark is at first reluctant when aspiring producer Seth and writer Holly want him to help them make a movie about a local serial killer: after all, they might figure out that he is behind them, but figures it could be interesting. However when rivalries, crushes, and outside influence begin to cloud his mind the harder it is to tell if he’s in his own story or theirs. And who knows what direction the story will go in next?

Killer Concept (2021) is the new movie by the team formed by awards-winner producer and director Glenn Payne and producer and writer Casey Dillard, both also playing the main roles. This is the same team that brought a good bunch of short films and features including their biggest hit to date, horror-thriller Driven (2019). With them, Coley Bryant, Maddie Ludt, Caleb Hall, and Caroline Upthegrove also star.

Produced by Dead Leaf Productions, the movie is already available on Amazon Prime Video. Watch here the trailer for Killer Concept (2021).
