He could be anyone.
He could be anywhere.
He can take you anytime.
By day he has a job like any other man. He has bills to pay, a fridge to fill and time to kill. Working by day as a garbage man in Anytown Middle America, Tom has no friends, no real ambition or career drive… but he has voices. Screaming and cursing and burning their way through the years, reminding him of all the things THEY did to him as a boy, and never letting up... until he does things. Bad things.
After eight years on the prowl, always one step behind you in the night, The Garbage Man is here. He’s been waiting for just this moment to take you with him on his night dark journies, someone he can drag with him for every bloody step dying step.
Written and directed by controversial author Hart D. Fisher at the beginning of the media frenzy over his biography of Milwaukee Cannibal Jeffrey Dahmer, The Garbage Man is a twisted nightmare walk through the landscape of a serial killers mind. After years of deep immersion in serial killer research, Fisher birthed this deeply disturbing portrait of a black man on the edge, a twisted, lonely man driven to kill again and again and again. Fisher created a black serial killer (The Garbage Man is the first film about a black serial killer) so real he could have stepped from the headlines... and several months after wrapping the shoot on The Garbage Man he did in the form of Henry Louis Wallace. Once a silky voiced black DJ in Barnwell, South Carolina, Wallace now sits in a jail cell convicted on one of the state’s worst killing sprees with a body count of 10 women raped and strangled over a two year period. The parallels between The Garbage Man and real life killer Wallace were both shocking and provocative. While Fisher wrote and filmed Tom and his cinematic crimes, Wallace acted out the fiction in the flesh.
Much like the fictional character of Tom, women were taken with Wallace’s smile, solicitious attitude and welcomed him into their homes. Tom bows, scrapes and bludgeons his way into his victims lives and leaves a trail of bodies in his wake.
