Greetings,
My names Justin Dombrowski. I happened to stumble upon this site by accident from posting over at the Zodiackiller.com forum. Just thought I would drop by and make an introduction.
I'm a filmmaker/writer hailing from the Great Lakes region. I've always had a fascination with the Zodiac case and have followed it since 1999 when I was a young pre-teen. I co own an Independent Film Company, Pickwick Pictures, and am in the process of writing a book about the Zodiac Murders titled: Paradice: The terrifying true story of the serial killer that shocked a nation. The book primarily retells the Zodiac case through a narrative and novelist of approach through the daily newspaper articles, crime reports and firsthand accounts of those who lived the crime.
Besides that I look forward to posting on here and interacting with everyone (especially familiar faces from ZK)!
All the best,
Justin

Welcome Justin,
Congrats on your film company too!
May I ask about your film, is the main character Zodiac or are you trying for a tone like the Son of Sam film where its more about how the city felt and the panic that hit the regular folks?
Cheers
Truth

Welcome Justin! Sounds like a cool Zodiac project you are working on, and anything you make and put out there, helps to keep the case in the public spotlight, so thanks!!

Truth,
Our first film is actually titled "The Gales of November" which is about the last hours of the crewmen of the Edmund Fitzgerald, which sunk in 1975. However a future screenplay in the works is about the Zodiac Murders but is told from the viewpoint of Zodiac.
Thanks for the kind words.
All the best,
Justin

Welcome Justin--
Lots of Zodiac book competition out there, but hopefully you can pull off a refreshing read.

Welcome, Justin! Here's my take on Z: A young man unsure of his masculinity, who over-compensates by adopting a macho persona, e.g., high school football player, etc. Eventually he marries, finds he is unable to function sexually. He takes out his frustrations by murdering a couple parked in a Lover's Lane and afterward discovers that now he can make love to his wife. Eventually, however, his impotence returns, and he goes on the hunt again.

Hello & Welcome,
Being a Vallejo Girl, I have my own take on the Zodiac. Everyone wants closure to this case & Vallejo people really want & need it as it was a very sad, scary, difficult experience & people still feel the deep cuts as scars.

I like that Dag..I reckon you nailed it..to him killing was exhilarating. but temporary. it was a fix. How many "fixes" not attributed to him? Maybe still at it. Who knows!
