In True Crime Story: Smugshot, the crimes range from petty to devastating, but the series of events surrounding the crime are always surprising. Whether in pursuit of revenge or riches, status or glory, freedom or fame, each of these law-breakers cling to their entitlement in spite of having more to lose than to gain. At times quirky and funny, at others outrageous or disturbing, these are the stories of people who thought they could, or should, get away with it.
True Crime Story: Smugshot, a SundanceTV Original Series, is created and executive produced by award-winning documentary filmmakers Amy Bandlien Storkel and Bryan Storkel (The Pez Outlaw, Bitconned, The Legend of Cocaine Island). Bandlien Storkel and Storkel, along with Rebecca Stern, Jonathan Ignatius Green and Donnie Eichar serve as episodic directors, while Karen Bowlin, David Ricksecker, Sam Findlay and Justin Levy produce.
