Information

Blind Justice is a drama set in the 1940’s. It is a The film is based on the true story of George Stinney Jr. a 14-year-old who was executed by way of the electric chair and was not given a fair trial on the same. We are attempting to depict the systematic unfair misjustice and flaws in the judicial system of the USA at the time. What is great about this film is that due to it being set in the 1940s we plan to have our production flawless in showing the same from the locations, art dept building of sets and props, wardrobe and even dialect. 

This project is a student project under SAE Dubai - though we are students, we are a passionate crew of 22 who are working towards making a short film that we expect to send to a number of international film festivals. 

There will be a public screening in Dubai followed by submitting it to film festivals such as Sundance film festival, Cannes film festival, Chicago International film festival and more. 

Due to being a self-funded student film, this is an unpaid project. However, you will definitely be mentioned in the credits, get some great exposure being part of such a film and set, build experience and have footage to add to your showreel. Apart from that, food and transportation will be covered from our side.

Shooting dates are 13th until 15th August.
