Recommended by

  • David Hansen: Run Kingsbury Run

    Whidden’s brief, gritty and intense noir thriller, packed with psychological gamesmanship, communicates the pressure, the damage, and the wide-raging effect a public panic can have on the greater community. The "Mad Butcher of Kingsbury Run" is the catalyst for a confrontation between three police officers officers at a crime scene which acts as a cautionary tale about reputation, responsibility, and the ghosts of our fathers. With cracking dialogue and urgency, it's a must read!
