Review | Frederick
Nigel reviews the latest addition to the Cameo Launch Review Showcase. Writer and star Josh Mann and director Traci Hays meticulously craft a mystery thriller following an obsessive painter working towards a masterpiece that will ensure he is long remembered. At the same time, a number of young women start to turn up missing and a grizzled NYPD detective suspects the titular artist.
