Anonymous Content Signs Anthony Caronna, Filmmaker Behind HBO’s ‘Last Call: When a Serial Killer Stalked Queer New York’

EXCLUSIVE: In a competitive situation, Anonymous Content has signed Anthony Caronna, the filmmaker behind HBO’s acclaimed docuseries Last Call: When a Serial Killer Stalked Queer New York, for representation. The company will look to support Caronna as they transition into narrative filmmaking.

Caronna co-created, wrote, and directed Last Call alongside Howard Gertler. Debuting on HBO in July 2023 and going on to earn the Golden Tomato for Best Docuseries of 2023 from Rotten Tomatoes, the four-part documentary crime series examines a serial killer that preyed on gay men in New York City during the 1990s by infiltrating the queer nightlife scene.

Caronna’s debut feature doc, Susanne Bartsch: On Top, explores New York City culture through the influence of nightlife legend Susanne Bartsch. Premiering at Hot Docs in 2017, the film went on to receive the John Schlesinger Award at the Provincetown Film Festival before being acquired by Netflix.

Other notable film and television credits for Caronna include co-producing Wrinkles the Clown and directing the 1980s episode of the FX docuseries Pride, among others.

Based in Brooklyn, Caronna has spent the past decade transitioning from experimental live theater to filmmaking. In part because of this unique background, their work has been celebrated as genre-breaking and their film and TV projects have received critical acclaim globally. Currently developing their first narrative feature, they continue to be represented by CAA and Anita Surendran at Granderson Des Rochers.
