REDEMPTION | Trailer | Sci-Fi/Mystery/Crime

The mind-bending story of Ronan Dillinger, a disgraced LAPD detective accused of murdering his wife. Although Ronan is convinced that he is innocent and hell-bent on proving so, everyone believes that he is guilty–Everyone. Inspired by Orson Welles’ The Trial, Blade Runner, and other science fiction and detective classics, Redemption illustrates a cautionary reality where conformity reigns over the truth.

Completed in 2020 (uploaded to Vimeo four years later).
