THE GRIN OF EVIL is one of the best Fan Fiction film you’ll ever see. It’s also a teaser to a much bigger story. Interview with the director/star Alejandro Fanzgo and the producer Anne Valmont in Argentina.

Summary of Film: The Grin of Evil aims to explore the Joker's philosophy from his peculiar point of view and away from his faithful adversary. It's a journey of what lies behind the jokes and laughs: each chapter offers a different approach of the character, who will be portrayed in various styles. As fans, our main interest is to pay tribute to the characters that made a difference in our childhood and teenage years. The idea of bringing these characters and their universe to life from the vignettes is exhilarating. We feel committed to develop a creative challenge that would bring out the best of each artist, making it personal to us and to the viewers as well.
