This Game’s Called Murder

Megalomaniac Mr. Wallendorf (a grizzled Ron Perlman) is a world renowned fashion mogul whose business only sells one style of shoes. His conniving, brutal wife (Natasha Henstridge) is planning to siphon off funds for her own needs, while their daughter, Jennifer, is a social media icon, with a drink problem and a boyfriend of dubious intent. When a team of female thieves accidentally steals a truck of Wallendorf shoes, events are set in motion that will affect everybody involved. An absurdist story full of violence, betrayal, and sex set in a consumer-crazed, alienated society ruled by technology and social media.

‘I discovered at an early age that friends were eager to get involved in my mad little tales if I pointed a video camera at them. They would say whatever I wanted and do whatever I said. I could cause them to grow angry at one another, or watch them fall in love. As an adult, what started with childhood lying has manifested itself into writing and filmmaking. I use basically the same process, it comes from the same desire and ends up as a story for people to see and hear. It is this process I have used to craft This Game’s Called Murder.’
