The Speedway Murders continues our promise to promote local and independent filmmakers.
THE SPEEDWAY MURDERS takes viewers on a rollercoaster ride, introducing a cast of characters, theories, narratives, and emotions. What begins as a true-crime murder mystery evolves into a heart-felt exploration of loss and frustration. After 45 years, what power does the truth hold for those left behind?
True-crime documentary drama THE SPEEDWAY MURDERS is the culmination of five years investigation for Australian filmmakers Luke Rynderman and Adam Kamien. The Speedway Murders explores the notorious quadruple ‘Burger Chef Murders’, one of the most infamous cold cases in the USA involving four young employees who were kidnapped and violently killed following their closing shift at a burger restaurant in Speedway, Indiana in 1978. As directors Rynderman and Kamien deftly unfold the story through interviews, animation and re-enactments, employees are played by a talented young cast - Essie Randles, Nya Cofie, Davida McKenzie and Jo Cumpston - all caught in a time loop in the two hours leading up to the crime. As we get to know them, we learn about the town, and the predominant theories.
