His most recent film, the full-length feature film titled "2 Little Monsters", was released in 2012. The film is a psychological drama fictionalizing the modern life of notorious child killers Robert Thompson and Jon Venables, who in 1993 were convicted of the murder of James Bulger. The film's subject matter marks a departure for the director, who had previously been associated with films in the fantasy and horror genres. To get the film made, Schmoeller self-financed it for what he describes as, "a really small sum, about 30 times less than "Tourist Trap"." The same year, Schmoeller also appeared in the 2013 documentary "Rewind This!" about the impact of VHS on the film industry and home video.
