Since the beginning of his career, Tiller Russell has had an almost voyeuristic fascination with the underworld where both cops and criminals are denizens of the morally gray area.
The director’s latest, the Netflix docuseries “Night Stalker: The Hunt for a Serial Killer” and the upcoming feature film “Silk Road,” both visit San Francisco, marking a return to the region that helped pave Russell’s niche path. His films and TV shows represent different degrees of criminality, mildly informed by his days working as a crime reporter at the Berkeley Voice in the ’90s.
