Experiencing Interruptions?

Edward is a lawyer who finds himself willing to take extreme measures as he vies for a promotion. Katherine is his fiancée, whose life begins to unravel after she meets someone new. When Edward comes home with news of a work trip, Katherine invites herself and sets in motion a series of events that has deadly consequences.

Upon arrival at a remote estate Edward is informed of his true purpose there. To inherit the law firm that he works for, he must kill the man that he has been positioned against. Murderous gamesmanship ensues and Edward finds his competitor may know more than he is letting on.

Director Statement

Through the Blinds is an observation into the lives of a young couple who faces questions of trust, judgement, and commitment with deadly consequences. It is the lens through which we view the people we spend our lives with. It is taking them at their word.

I wanted to create a compelling character drama with tones and themes that spanned multiple genres. Part intricate drama and part dark thriller. Focusing on the separate sides of a relationship in turmoil allowed the atmosphere of tension to build organically until the two worlds collide.

Through the Blinds was a project years in the making and could not have been completed without collaboration every step of the way. I recognize that only one film can be called my first feature and only my unique filmmaking voice was the right one to bring this film to life.
