Casting "Killer Joe," a modern day fable, set in the American ghetto in modern day Chicago. Shot on 16mm motion picture film, this fantasy drama is an ambitious project led by graduates from film schools. This film challenges and questions concepts surrounding morality, virtues, and the overarching search for peace by those left behind by society. Logline: After 30 years in prison, Killer Joe a reformed pimp, returns to a Chicago he barely recognizes: wracked by violence, addiction, and hopelessness. He begins preaching to the youth, hoping to ignite change, but when he’s re-arrested for a parole violation, his message lives on only through Hakim, a teenager who internalizes Joe’s teachings and spreads them across the South Side.
