Description

This short film is part of the Nightvision Shorts Program.

Eva, Sarah and filmmaker Shoko Hara all corresponded with Richard Ramirez, a notorious California serial killer and rapist, during his incarceration in the 1980s and ’90s. Using an ever-shifting, self-erasing claymation style, Just a Guy expresses their transgressive affection and attraction without judgment, and shows the destigmatizing and charitable potential of human interaction. Angie Driscoll
