Exclusive Clip from ‘Killer Among Us’ Starring Yasha Jackson
Vertical Entertainment has provided BlackFilmandTV.com with an exclusive clip to first time writer-director Charles Scharfman’s crime thriller “Killer Among Us”. The film stars Yasha Jackson (The Flight Attendant), Andrew Richardson (Martin Eden.), Bruce MacVittie (When They See Us) and Imani Lewis (The Forty-Year-Old Version).
Written by Daniel Lichtenberg and Charlie Scharfman, Vertical Entertainment will release Killer Among Us in cinemas & on demand April 16th.
After her 4th of July shift ends, Officer Alisha Parks, an idealistic rookie commonly ostracized by her male peers, witnesses a drug-addicted teenager named Ricki being forced into a car by a strange man. She brings the abduction to her superiors who ignore it as just another situation involving a junkie. But Alisha persists and investigates off duty, eventually enrolling the department's best, albeit wearily hardened Det. Corbucci to aid in the case. Together they uncover that this wasn’t a lone incident, and that the suspect they're after is in fact a disturbingly indoctrinated, methodical serial killer.
Director Charles Scharfman: “I made this film as a crime genre-rooted reflection of the polarized and complicated political climate we are currently living in, and that’s even more relevant today then when we shot it.”
Killer Among Us was directed by Charles Scharfman, produced by Dan Clifton and Bernard Hunt, with cinematography by Bernard Hunt, edited by Terry Taylor, and music by Siddhartha Barnhoorn. The film was produced by Hard Night LLC.
