Director Amber Sealey responds to Joe Berlinger's 'unsolicited email' about Ted Bundy | EW.com - EW.com

Director Amber Sealey made public a critical email she received from fellow filmmaker Joe Berlinger ahead of the debut of her Ted Bundy film No Man of God at the Tribeca Film Festival.

Berlinger emailed Sealey after he read interviews she gave in support of her drama, starring Luke Kirby as the notorious serial killer, in which he feels she criticized his two Bundy projects: Netflix's Conversations with a Killer: The Ted Bundy Tapes and the Zac Efron led Extremely Wicked, Shockingly Evil, and Vile.

"But even if I had mentioned his movies and didn't like it and felt like I had a different take on Bundy than he did, isn't that okay.

He also noted, "Promoting her film about the rape and murder of women by tearing down my film that was designed to be a victim-focused film about the psychology of betrayal and deception, made with the full support of victim Liz Kendall, played by Lily Collins, and was supported by other victims of Bundy's crimes felt intellectually dishonest.

Her publication of that private email is as self-promotional as her comments about my film.

The film pulls from real-life transcripts documenting how Hamaier's feelings for Bundy while profiling the serial killer evolve into empathy
