Ariel Julia Hairston Takes An Unusual Approach On Domestic Violence in “Both Eyes Open”
Writer/director Ariel Julia Hairston’s screenwriting debut, #BothEyesOpen, is a thriller that focuses on Ally (played by Gail Bean), a woman beginning the process of putting her life back together following the end of an abusive relationship. In the midst of navigating her new reality, and haunted by hallucinations from her past, she strikes up a friendship with her yoga instructor, Cara (Joy Brunson). Warned by longtime friends not to trust too quickly, Ally is forced to take a look at her past and present relationships and make decisions as the lines between what is real and what is imaginary become increasingly blurred.
The film also stars Tristan Mack Wilds, Christie Leverette and Taye Diggs and was produced by Roderick McClure’s and Joshua Ferrell’s RodFather Productions.
