Cast
Production
Author Dan Wells' novel I Am Not a Serial Killer was first released in 2009 and in the United States in 2010.[3][4] Irish writer and director Billy O'Brien, who had previously written and directed the 2006 horror film Isolation, adapted the novel for the screen with co-writer Christopher Hyde, and is shooting on 16 mm film.[3][5] Robbie Ryan is working on the film as a producer as well as director of photography.[6] Other producers include O'Brien, Nick Ryan, James Harris, and Mark Lane.[2] Toby Froud is serving as a creature designer.[5] William Todd-Jones is the creature movement consultant. Jennifer Klide served as production designer. The Irish Egg Post Production will perform postproduction work for the film.[2]
Funding for I Am Not a Serial Killer was provided by the Irish Film Board, The Fyzz Facility, and Quickfire Films. The English firm Independent will manage international sales of the film.[2] Its budget totals around $1.45 million.[3]
Filming
Principal photography began in the US state of Minnesota on February 28, 2015.[2] Centered in the town of Virginia on the Mesabi Iron Range, the film's producers had hoped to shoot somewhere in the North and ultimately chose the area—despite the book's setting of North Dakota—in part because of the Iron Range Resources and Rehabilitation Board. Through its Film Production Incentive program, the Board can reimburse almost $93,000 of eligible production costs.[3] Michigan and Ohio were also considered as filming locations.[7] Local extras were utilized as part of the shoot, which concluded on March 20 before the production team moved to other cities in Minnesota including Saint Paul and Golden Valley to film several scenes set during the autumn.[3][8]
Release
I Am Not a Serial Killer premiered at the South by Southwest Film Festival on March 13, 2016.[1]
