Set in a rural community during the Great Depression in Australia, the film is a period-style drama which revolves around an event that changes the community.
Director and writer Craig Wyhoon said he was eager to share the trailer, which outlines the 20-minute film in 90 seconds.
“(I’m) absolutely excited to share the trailer after four months of post-production. It basically tells a brief synopsis of what the film is all about,” Mr Wyhoon said.
Blind Freedom was filmed over 10 days in June, with post-production and editing beginning in August.
Mr Wyhoon said the process had been challenging, but was a rewarding learning experience despite hurdles.
“It’s just getting the really nitty-gritty right down to the second to create this really emotional, moving film,” he said.
“Every film you learn a lot and learn from everyone. It’s just been a really good experience to go through.”
The film will be submitted to major local and international film festivals, which require exclusive screening rights.
While an official public release date is yet to be announced, Mr Wyhoon said a private screening for cast and crew members would take place early next year.
As a proof of concept film, it’s likely Blind Freedom will be made into a feature-length film.
“I’m working with a producer in Los Angeles at the moment, and we’re halfway through a feature film for Loki and Me. I’m hoping to do the same thing for Blind Freedom,” Mr Wyhoon said.
The link to the film’s first trailer will be shared to the Blind Freedom Facebook page on Friday morning at 10am.
