Short description

A crime photographer gets involved in a conspiracy.

What's left behind the scenes

The main character was inspired by Arthur Fellig, known as Weegee (1899-1968). He was an American photojournalist and master of documentary photography, famous for his photo reports on the nightlife of New York during the Great Depression and Prohibition. The film even features some of his photographs.
It took Howard Franklin 10 years to move from writing the screenplay to filming the movie.
