Synopsis:

Shades is a film about (imaginary) Belgian serial killer Freddy Lebecq which producer Max Vogel, a former lawyer, is determined to make into an internationally co-produced, relatively big budget-production Hollywood style, with a director from the States. To that end he cuts deals with and often behind the backs of just about everybody, including Lebeq -who has the book rights-, his lawyer who hopes to use proceeds donated to the relatives to facilitate early release, even the victims, always trying to get the media circus to yield priceless publicity. However not only the lead actor proves a loose canon, even Lebecq ends up killing his lawyer and escaping, when he believes the movie is hurting his case ...

Erik van Looy's Shades takes place on a fractured movie shoot. Washed-up director Paul Sullivan is attempting to make a comeback with a film about a famous serial killer. He is getting friction from all sides, including the family members of the victims who want the film shut down, a mentally unstable producer, a lead actor with serious addiction issues, and a young female actress willing to do anything to have a career.
