October 2004
Local indie filmmaker John Borowski has teamed up with
Chicago-based Facets Video to distribute his hourlong documentary H.H.
Holmes: America's First Serial Killer, about the pharmacist who methodically
preyed on women visiting the 1893 World's Columbian Exposition. Borowski beats
out two Hollywood Holmes biopics currently in the works-one produced by Leonardo
Di Caprio and another by Tom Cruise, who is developing a Paramount project
based on Erik Larson's bestselling Devil in the White City. Borowski's
DVD hits stores October 26-or get it now at www.hhholmesthefilm.com.
