Michael Bayer: 我从2009年左右开始从事影视制作,最初是制作广告和宣传视频。后来,我与身为刑事辩护律师的哥哥合作,逐渐了解了法律领域,并对犯罪故事产生了浓厚的兴趣。在制作纪录片《Vanished: The Heather Elvis Case》的过程中,我深刻体会到犯罪故事的吸引力在于其高风险性和非比寻常的事件,同时也能从中汲取深刻的教训。True Case Films的宗旨是通过犯罪故事来传达这些教训,特别是关于网络安全和社交媒体的负面影响。我选择Heather Elvis的案件是因为它涉及网络骚扰,这是一个需要更多关注的问题。这个案件不仅仅是关于骚扰,它还包含未解之谜和更深层次的犯罪,包括家庭暴力和阴谋论。与Heather Elvis的家人交谈让我深刻体会到他们的坚强和善良,同时也感受到案件中善恶的强烈对比。他们希望通过纪录片提高人们对网络骚扰和家庭暴力的认识,并帮助其他受害者。Tammy Moore在案件初期通过操纵信息和控制舆论,成功地散布了许多谣言。在制作过程中,我们团队注重保持观众的注意力,并通过情感和逻辑的结合来讲述故事。我们还制作了其他两个项目,一个是关于在线约会诈骗的纪录片,另一个是与John Lorden合作的达拉斯案件。 Aaron: 作为一名长期关注犯罪案件的播客主持人,我看到了纪录片和播客在案件报道中的互补作用。纪录片能够更深入地挖掘案件细节,展现受害者家人的情感,并引发公众的持续关注,从而帮助案件的侦破。Heather Elvis的案件之所以引人注目,不仅在于其本身的复杂性和未解之谜,还在于它反映了网络骚扰和家庭暴力等社会问题。通过纪录片,我们可以更全面地了解案件的真相,并从中吸取教训。
