Sherman’s first and only feature film is a mordantly hilarious horror-comedy starring Carol Kane as a timid copy editor lorded over by boss Barbara Sukowa who begins taking out her frustrations at her workplace by first picking off co-workers, then taking them home to be arranged in cozy domestic tableaux. From a razor-sharp screenplay co-written by Todd Haynes, with a richly saturated visual style recalling Sherman’s legendary Untitled Film Stills project, Office Killer is both a beloved cult object and the film that gave production company Killer Films its name.

Q&A with producers and Killer Films co-founders Christine Vachon and Pamela Koffler moderated by writer Esther Zuckerman on Sunday, August 3rd.
