Set in a dystopian near-future where civil liberties are trampled by an unrestrained federal government, the film's crowd funded trailer was enthusiastically received by the burgeoning online community of libertarians, Tea Party activists as well as members of the nascent alt-right.

In 2010 David Crowley, an Iraq veteran, aspiring filmmaker and charismatic up-and-coming voice in fringe politics, began production on his film 'Gray State.' Set in a dystopian near-future where civil liberties are trampled by an unrestrained federal government, the film's crowd funded trailer was enthusiastically received by the burgeoning online community of libertarians, Tea Party activists as well as members of the nascent alt-right. In January of 2015, Crowley was found dead with his family in their suburban Minnesota home. Their shocking deaths quickly become a cause célèbre for conspiracy theorists who speculate that Crowley was assassinated by a shadowy government concerned about a film and filmmaker that was getting too close to the truth about their aims.
Leave your thoughts about A Gray State.
| The Hollywood ReporterFrank ScheckThe film makes its case methodically and persuasively. |
| Village VoiceAlan ScherstuhlFriends, family, and reporters offer invaluable insight in interviews, making this the somewhat rare documentary that’s actually as illuminating as good print reporting on the same case. |
| New York Magazine (Vulture)Emily YoshidaIt’s intermittently successful, but even in its more meandering moments it is a gripping, almost unbearably dark watch. |
| Los Angeles TimesMichael RechtshaffenA Gray State disturbingly traverses the blurred boundary between reality and performance all too inherent in today’s social media-fed climate of cultural narcissism. |
| RogerEbert.comGodfrey CheshireA Gray State captures much of this in one real-life tale that’s as unsettling as it is precisely of-the-moment. |
| IndiewireDavid EhrlichClear enough about what happened to be ambiguous about what it means, the film makes only one clean argument: Truth isn’t always stranger than fiction, but it’s often a hell of a lot sadder. |
| Slant MagazineChuck BowenErik Nelson's film straddles a fine and admirable line between lurid sensationalism and sober humanism. |
| The PlaylistChris BarsantiExcepting a strangely off-key final scene, A Gray State is a compelling, highly dramatic piece of documentary filmmaking. |
| In These TimesMichael AtkinsonNelson's film is a fairly straightforward police-file-and-talking-heads affair, energized by the use of Crowley's own storehouse of footage, and in essence positing him as a co-director. |
| Screen InternationalAnthony KaufmanEveryone loves a conspiracy—which is one of the reasons that A Gray State, a tantalising and fascinating real-life story, makes for compelling viewing. But it’s also supremely timely. |
