An Imperfect Murder
Truth comes at a price.
Directed by James Toback
Produced by Michael Mailer Films, BondIt Media Capital
A dark psychological crime drama centered on a woman concealing a killing, built on paranoia, moral ambiguity, and the question of what truth costs.
Successful actress Vera Lockman thrashes during a nightmare in which she struggles with, shoots and kills her drug-dealer ex-boyfriend. Jolted awake, she reveals in her journal that the killing actually occurred the day before and that Sal, dead, lies in a trunk in her living room.
