When aspiring documentarian Donny Wunder stumbles across an unsolved murder, he sets out to make the next big true crime documentary. But as scatter -- brained suspects and a tyrannical director wreak havoc on set, the production crumbles in spectacular fashion, culminating with Donny's arrest. One year later, Donny and producers sit for interviews and revisit the failure that was Killer Whales. That's when the shocking fraud that put Donny behind bars is revealed. This is a dark comedy about a naïve filmmaker's loss of innocence as he confronts the realities of the entertainment industry.

Quirky and a wild ride. From beginning to end. You will get twist after turn as the story unfolds. Not sure what most critics will think of the film but those who watch it will have a good time.

Rated: 3/5

…There’s some withering wit here, and even if Killer Whales has a few of the flaws we expect from a debut, it’s a useful calling card for the considerable talent involved…

A real corker of an indie comedy....the filmmakers got the whole 70s documentary tone just right. I've never been to LA myself but it seemed about as crazy as I imagine it could be!

Goofy afff. Christopher Guest for the 21st Century. If you like things like Best In Show with some pretty out-there indie visual effects, this could be for you. Smarter than it looks, and everyone on screen seems to be having a blast. If you've ever lived or worked in LA... you know.
