Production has wrapped on The Blind, a biopic of Duck Dynasty patriarch Phil Robertson with a theatrical release date slated for Sept. 22, 2023 as distribution plans are being finalized.
Set in the 1960s Deep South and shot on location in Louisiana, The Blind shares never-before-revealed aspects of Robertson’s life as he seeks to conquer the shame of his past, addiction and complicated family dynamics, ultimately finding redemption in an unlikely place. “It was important to us that the film be real,” said Willie Robertson, Phil’s son. “The transformation of Phil proves that anyone can change and that there is always hope.”
Directed by Andrew Hyatt the film stars Aron Von Andrian (Dodger), Amelia Eve (The Haunting Of Bly Manor), Brielle Robillard (The Lake) and Matthew Erick White (Station 19). Written by Stephanie Katz (All In).
