Anecdotes
Anna Kendrick made no money from "Woman of the Hour" because she donated all her pay to RAINN (Rape, Abuse & Incest National Network) and the National Center for Victims of Violent Crime. These organizations are two of the country's leading nonprofits that support survivors of sexual abuse and violence.

Gaffes
In the opening scene, the sunlight changes drastically and constantly between shots; initially it's golden on the horizon; then alternates between high mid-afternoon sun with blue sky, to gray overcast sky with no shadows.

Well done. I look forward to more from Anna in the director's chair.

Autumn Best easily has the standout acting performance in Anna Kendrick's first directorial outing, but Daniel Zovatto as serial killer Rodney Alcala is perfectly creepy as well. The scoring and cinematography are impressive and engaging, and the writing is well-paced and character-driven. I realize this is LOOSELY based on the real story of Alcala's crimes, but the writer(s) got a tad creative compared to the real story (the character "Laura" (played by Nicolette Robinson) never existed, Rodney was bachelor number one, not three, etc.) I also could've used a little more background on him and how he became such a monster. All-in-all this was a tense, interesting, and quite frustrating look at what has to be one of the strangest serial-murder cases of the last 50 years. I see good things ahead for Anna Kendrick's directing career.
