A Landscape of Lies (2011)

A Landscape of Lies is a 2011 British drama film, written and directed by Paul Knight. The film stars Andrea McLean, Danny Midwinter, Lucinda Rhodes-Flaherty, Daniel Peacock, Marc Bannerman, Andre Samson and Christina Baily. It was shown at the Las Vegas Film Festival and was later released straight to DVD in the United Kingdom on 1 October 2011.

A Landscape of Lies received media attention after it was discovered that the film concept was first created as, and was subsequently filmed in an attempt to hide, a hoax by a criminal group to commit tax fraud. It won a Silver Ace Award at the Las Vegas Film Festival, which was later rescinded after the festival committee learned of the film's use in the tax scam.
