Director's Cut is a darkly comedic thriller with a twist. It's two films in one. A suspense movie within a suspense movie.

Director’s commentaries on movies have been popular as DVD and Blu-Ray “extras” long enough that all movie-goers are familiar with the concept. In fact, movie fans have come to expect them from all of their favorite films and filmmakers. “Director’s Cut” utilizes this collective audience knowledge for a new kind of meta, multileveled plot. As "Director's Cut" begins, we find ourselves watching a taut cop thriller called "Knock Off". It's a creepy murder mystery in the vein of "Se7en" and “Silence of the Lambs”, about an older FBI agent and his gorgeous new partner working on a serial killer case where the murderer is mimicking well known killings of famous serial killers of the past. The movie has a great cast and and we learn from the commentary track that it was fully financed via crowdfunding. As the film plays out we hear the director’s constant commentary as VO over the scenes. He shares tidbits about the making of the movie, the crowdfunding process and stories about working with the actors. Especially the leading lady. In fact, the director seems strangely focused on his starlet. Fixated beyond what one might expect from a professional film director. It’s creepy. As the film continues to unfold we slowly start to realize that this voice is not the film's actual director at all, but that of an obsessed fan who thinks he’s the director. He's actually a psycho who is stalking and terrorizing the lead actress.

We start to see hidden, amateur hand held video of our actress edited into the movie. Shots taken from the side of the set without her knowledge. Shots following her home. We learn our stalker has gained access to our set by purchasing a role through one of the crowdfunding perks and is now near the real actors. One of his horrifying camcorder video sequences shows him actually kidnapping the lead actress. Now our villain has the actual actress, the object of his obsession, imprisoned in his home dungeon, where he's erected child quality sets from "Knock Off" and he makes her re shoot scenes she’d already done, but this time the way he wants them to play out. With him as her love interest. All the while the Director’s commentary keeps going, with that same calm and detached tone. As our starlet acts for her very life, we've gotta ask, will our leading lady ultimately fall prey to our psycho director's planned climactic conclusion, or will "Knock Off" have a happy ending…?
