Mugshot Trailers

Originally a law enforcement tool, the mug shot has deviated from its fundamental purpose as a source of criminal identification. It has been sensationalized through celebritydom, exploited by the leniency of freedom of information, and has captivated the attention of the art world. Mugshot explores the personal stories of those whose lives have been transformed by these iconic photographs.

Reviews
Twilightfa Watch something else. There are very few redeeming qualities to this film.
HomeyTao For having a relatively low budget, the film's style and overall art direction are immensely impressive.
Rio Hayward All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.
Roy Hart If you're interested in the topic at hand, you should just watch it and judge yourself because the reviews have gone very biased by people that didn't even watch it and just hate (or love) the creator. I liked it, it was well written, narrated, and directed and it was about a topic that interests me.
seodm This is a well documented, sensitive, and inspiring film that every film student and doc film buff should see. There is history, drama, humor and artist merit at work here, and much effort has been put into presenting the integrity of the 'subjects' or persons depicted in the film. It always intrigues me that most documentary film makers, who work with a shoe string (or zero) budget are able to put together something so intelligent and interesting. These film makers should be highly commended and need our support and encouragement. Hopefully others will view Mugshots, vote favorably and encourage their friends to see it so they in turn can do the same.
