This mockumentary follows the escapades of Ray Shoesmith, a Melbourne underworld hitman who hires a film student to document his life.
Ray, who is simultaneously ruthless and caring and volatile, is under contract to kill a low life of the Melbourne underworld when a more tempting offer is made.
This is the movie that paved the way for the 2018 hit TV series Mr Inbetween, which was complete after 26 episodes over 3 seasons.

Originally shot in 2003 with a budget of AUD$3,000, Scott Ryan edited a 30 minute version for screening at the St. Kilda Film Festival.

Criminal psychologist Tim Watson-Munro, a fan of Mr Inbetween, says it’s a familiar theme. “Women want to fix guys like Ray, but he can’t be rescued. Like most professional killers, Ray is a chameleon. He blends in, loves his mates and family, and is incredibly loyal. But he’s a psychopath desensitised by trauma in his past, forever torn between good and evil.”
