Created by longtime Capitol Hill-based filmmaker Gregg Lachow, THE UNCERTAIN DETECTIVE is an online scripted series full of neighborhood cameos and Seattle locations. Crosscut calls it “understated and charming…Funny and appealingly odd. A genuine portrayal of what it’s like to live and work as a family of artists, inhabiting and exhibiting different selves.”

In the show, art imitates life and life imitates art. A film director (played by Lachow) creates a surreal, neo-noir tv series featuring a bumbling detective, and casts his wife and kids in it (played by Lachow’s actual family). In the show, as in their lives, each character tries to solve the central mystery of life: in a world that seems to be falling apart, where is the love that binds us together?

Gregg Lachow has been instrumental in the creation of many iconic Seattle-set films, as director (MONEY BUYS HAPPINESS) and producer (Lynn Shelton’s WE GO WAY BACK, Guy Maddin’s BRAND UPON THE BRAIN!).

Catch up with Season 1 and 2 before two special in-person events to launch Season 3! On February 26th and March 25th, the public is invited to join cast & crew for a special premiere screening at the SIFF Film Center, followed by a live recording of “The Uncertain Artist,” a companion podcast co-hosted by Joe Guppy. Come hear long-time Seattle actors as they discuss the realities of forging an artistic career in the Northwest. The event is free and your seat can be reserved here.
