The Teller and the Truth (2015), Shapter’s third feature film, explores the story of Francis Wetherbee, a beautiful young bank teller who’s been missing since a 1974 bank robbery in Smithville, TX. The film was a mock documentary and a “social experiment,” as Shapter blurred fact with fiction by blending multiple urban legends into one story. Social media popularized Shapter’s version of Wetherbee’s story, and the missing woman garnered a “cult-like” following. The Teller and the Truth was shot over a period of five years in Texas, California, France, and India while Shapter underwent radiation and chemotherapy. The film was edited with the help of Nevie Owens and Sandra Adair, members of Richard Linklater’s editing team, and stars actress Leilani Galvan and Russell Gustave Ochoa. The Teller and the Truth was met with critical acclaim, and was awarded a score of 78% on Rotten Tomatoes.
