KARL SHEFELMAN'S DIRECTORS REEL

As a filmmaker, Karl has worn many hats: writer, director, editor, and storyboard artist (his "day job"). Among other projects, he's currently developing his feature film, "The Gold Porsche Robberies". Based on a true story set in his hometown of Austin, Texas, it's a darkly comedic true-crime drama with a ton of heart and an under-lying social message.
