In June 2023, Ajike Owens, a vibrant young Black mother of four and family friend, was shot and killed by her neighbor, Susan Lorincz. The conflict that ignited this tragic event was a neighborhood dispute over children playing in a nearby field. Heartbroken, I embarked on a film project to unravel the chilling escalation from a minor disagreement to a devastating murder. THE PERFECT NEIGHBOR is a powerful and unsettling exploration, weaving together detective interviews, police body cam footage, and witness testimonies. This film chronicles the tragic sequence of events and also highlights the perilous implications of of Florida's lenient gun regulations and Stand Your Ground laws.
