In 1993, a sadistic killer, Arthur Poe was captured and convicted. He was sentenced to death by the state of Virginia for several gruesome murders.

A reporter (Maury Morgan) takes on Poe in an interview seeking to shed light on the emotionally charged topic.

Before Joseph Albanese began attending college, he worked many different jobs that he believes provided him with numerous invaluable and unique life experiences. After doing this for several fun-filled years, he decided that it was time to pursue his dream of filmmaking. His journey started in Connecticut where he got his first recognition as a writer after a comedic vignette he wrote about life on campus was published. Joseph then continued his education at the University of Southern California where he earned a bachelor's degree in History and Political Science. It was after this that he began learning the art of filmmaking and storytelling at Chapman University's Dodge College of Film and Media Arts. His first movie gained him recognition as a director when his three-minute short was screened at the LA Shorts Festival. Joseph graduated with an MFA degree and is currently submitting his thesis film, Clemency, to festivals around the world. Read less
