With a cast of non-actors drawn from the very world the film portrays, Shooters is a drama documentary directed by Dan Reed for Suspect Device Films. Set in Liverpool, the film features local criminals as actors depicting the lives of local gangsters. The short film is notable for being completely unscripted aside from a brief outline, with each scene improvised and ad‑libbed by the actors themselves. It was first broadcast in December 2000 on C4 as part of their Cutting Edge series, and the score was co‑written by world‑renowned musician John Murphy.
