Netflix’s Nightcrawler follows Lou Bloom, a petty thief played by BAFTA-award winner Jake, as he becomes a photojournalist selling footage of sensational violence in his city to the local Los Angeles news station.
The film, which is set to leave the streaming platform on March 29, sees Lou embarking on his new role after witnessing a cameraman played by Bill Paxton racing to be first on the scene of a horrific car accident on the highway.
Lou is amazed to learn that Bill makes a career as a 'stringer'—someone who films accidents and crimes on tape to sell to local news.
The former petty crook then takes it upon himself to open his own agency, Video Production News, which consist of just him with a police scanner and camera he got from the thrift shop.
