<div>Thank you for your continued support of independent filmmaking. In these uncertain times, it is especially important to have an independent filmmaker creating true crime documentaries which are not based on sensationalism, as is the case with the majority of mass media. John Borowski's documentaries are factual based, historical, non-biased accounts of the life and crimes of notorious and infamous serial killers and true crime figures in the serial killer culture.
