Filmmakers keen for more Making a Murderer

The directors of buzz-worthy documentary Making a Murderer are considering more of the Steven Avery saga.

The 10-part Netflix series revolved around questions about the judicial process behind Steven Avery’s 2005 conviction for the murder of photographer Teresa Halbach, as well as the related convictions of his nephew Brendan Dassey.

Directors Laura Ricciardi and Moira Demos have spoken to Avery’s new lawyer, Kathleen Zellner, about the prospect of filming and have continued to record their conversations with Avery.

“From our perspective this story is obviously not over,” Ricciardi said. “It’s real life and (Avery’s and Brendan Dassey’s) cases are both still pending. We have no idea when the magistrate will make a decision in Brendan’s case. We do know that two potential outcomes are that the judge could order Brendan’s release or he could order a new trial. So we are on the edge of seats about that.

“To the extent that there are significant developments, we would like to continue documenting this (case).”

Both Laura Ricciardi and Moira Demos will be in Australia for talks next month.
