A Gray State

A Gray State examines the life of David Crowley, an up-and-coming filmmaker who allegedly killed his wife and child before taking his own life in 2015. Crowley’s film Gray State was only partially completed when the deaths occurred, and many believe his death may have been the result of a sinister plot to prevent the film from being released.

Crowley’s journals, kept during the months leading up to his death, provide a backdrop for the events depicted in A Gray State. A compelling psychological portrait of the filmmaker and former veteran begins to emerge, one that may help explain the despair Crowley experienced as he attempted to complete his film about a dystopian society under martial law.
