The filmmakers where inspired to make the movie after learning of the existence of the "Zone of Death", a small portion of Yellowstone National Park, that under the Sixth Amendment's Vicinage Clause, would enable "The Perfect Crime". The Zone was first written about in a Georgetown Law Journal article, "The Perfect Crime," by Michigan State University law professor Brian Kalt.

Synopsis
The film is a "mockumentary" examining the history of Dwayne Nelson, a suspected murderer. In 2009, Nelson confessed to shooting three men to death in Yellowstone National Park and despite his confession being accurately detailed, he was not convicted of the crimes because the crime occurred in an uninhabited area and as such, there is no chance of finding a jury to hear the trial. Years later Julian T. Pinder examines the crimes and the legal loophole that allowed Nelson to walk free. As the film progresses Pinder begins to receive strange and frightening items, evidence of Nelson's crime.
Reception
The Hollywood Reporter gave Population Zero a mostly favorable review, commenting that although the film was uneven in places it was also "creatively eerie". Shock Till You Drop praised the movie, commenting that "Knowing that POPULATION ZERO is a hypothetical scenario played out is immaterial. The question of whether the film is real or not is not the point. The point is that the federal government recognizes that there is a “Zone of Death” in one of its national Parks, making this film far more unsettling and disturbing than anything to spring from one’s imagination."
