A film adaptation of James O’Barr’s graphic novel, THE CROW, was created from 1994-1998. A year after his own tragic death, a young man rises from the grave to seek vengeance for the brutal murder of his fiancée. Through painful flashbacks, he relives their deaths and remembers their life together. Donning a sinister mime-like visage, he stalks the murky alleyways and rain-slicked city streets, determined to exact a terrible and bloody revenge upon the gang that killed them.

Told through intimate behind-the-scenes footage shot by the filmmakers themselves, INERTIA: RE-MAKING THE CROW takes an unflinching look at the creative evolution of two young men amidst their struggle to create a faithful, no-budget video adaptation of James O’Barr’s acclaimed comic book series THE CROW, which was also the basis for the major motion picture starring Brandon Lee in his final performance.
