“No Man of God explores FBI agent Bill Hagmaier’s actual interrogation of Ted Bundy,” said Mark Ward, Chief Acquisitions Officer at RLJE Films. “A story that has never been told, No Man of God brings a new and revealing perspective to the Ted Bundy story.”

“No Man of God explores a familiar subject through a different lens. Through the brilliant direction of Amber Sealey, the film also poses challenging questions about the dangers of our obsession with serial killers like Bundy,” Company X/SpectreVision CEO Lisa Whalen said. “RLJE Films immediately recognized what was special about this film. We’re thrilled to be working with them again.”
