CGiii Comment

Definitely a subject worthy of deeper investigation...a possible full-length documentary or - even - a feature?!?

As an introduction...it does the job. But, it does come over more as a promo film for funding rather than a fully-fledged short film.

Watch...

The(ir) Blurb...

Between January of 1974 and September 1975, The Doodler killed fourteen homosexual men in the Castro, San Francisco's gay district. All victims were Caucasian, inebriated and closeted to society. The Doodler would lure these men by drawing their pictures on bar napkins, later leaving the renditions with their bodies for Homicide Inspectors to find.
