## Executive Summary & Cultural Positioning

Director's Cut is a 2016 American independent black comedy horror film directed by Adam Rifkin, starring Penn Jillette and Missi Pyle. Principal photography took place in September 2014 and lasted four weeks. The film follows a character named Herbert Blount, who is a crowdfunding contributor for a new Adam Rifkin feature titled Knocked Off. Unhappy with the resulting film, Blount steals the footage and kidnaps actress Missi Pyle to star in his own director's cut. The feature combines elements of horror, comedy, thriller, and crime. It has a runtime of one hour and thirty-three minutes, and it was released in the United States on May 10, 2018.
