The team behind “Dahmer – Monster: The Jeffrey Dahmer Story” knew full well there was a fine line between staying authentic to the story of the titular serial killer and glamorizing his crimes, and that extended to every single department on the Netflix series that is now nominated for 13 Emmys, including Outstanding Period and/or Character Hairstyling, Outstanding Picture Editing for a Limited or Anthology Series or Movie, Outstanding Period and/or Character Makeup (Non-Prosthetic), Outstanding Sound Mixing for a Limited or Anthology Series or Movie and Oustanding Limited Series.
“My biggest fear when I started working on this project was that Jeff could come off as a sympathetic character, which I know is not something that any of us wanted,” Emmy-nominated editor Stephanie Filo said in an installment of TheWrap’s of “How I Did It” sponsored by Netflix.
