Bruce Delamitri makes movies about killers. Great, stylish movies - not the usual low rent, low brow, slash-shoot-and-screw garbage that recoups its budget with a blood and boobs DVD sleeve. Bruce's movies are hip. Post-modern cinematic milestones dripping with ironic juxtaposition. His killers are style icons who walk and talk cool. Getting shot by one of them would be a fashion statement. Wayne and Scout actually are killers. Real ones - low brow, low rent, morality free zones. Appalling, sad, unbalanced maniacs who kill people they don't know. One Oscar-winning night, Wayne and Scout hijack Bruce's life. They've decided it's time Bruce faced up to his responsibilities. Fact confronts fiction in the heart of Beverly Hills and a terrible siege begins. Cover art by Paul Campion.
