Justice Is Mind: Evidence to Premiere on January 20 at the Strand Theatre

Online, January 9, 2012 (Newswire.com) - Mark Lund, Executive Producer, and Jessica Killam, Producer, are pleased to announce the world premiere of Justice Is Mind: Evidence at the historic Strand Theatre in Clinton, Massachusetts on January 20. Evidence will debut after the feature length film J. Edgar.

Written by Mark Lund, in Justice Is Mind MRI technology has advanced to a point where imaging of long term memories can be produced in near video quality. When local businessman and restaurant owner Henri Miller has the new FVMRI scans and it reveals him murdering two contractors on his property, the first Superior Court trial begins in which a defendant's own memory can be introduced as evidence.

Evidence begins in the chambers of Judge Richard Wagner when motions are presented by Henri's defense counsel in a desperate attempt to suppress the key memory evidence of the alleged double murder. The story continues at the Miller residence with Henri growing more unstable and his journalist wife, Margaret, attempting to bring some normalcy to their situation-a futile attempt when the news of Henri's fate is broadcast to the world.

"We're very excited to premiere Evidence at the beautiful Strand Theatre and to debut the film in Clinton." said Mark Lund. "The story takes place in a New England town so the setting is ideal. And like theatre going of yesteryear in which patrons could enjoy more than one film for a single admission, Evidence's premiere will offer just that. There's no extra admission charge to see our short and we welcome audience feedback."

The short film version Evidence was produced to introduce the concept of Justice Is Mind and to act as a capital raise vehicle to produce the feature length version this coming summer. In concert with the producer's capital raise activities, the production has launched a crowdfunding campaign on IndieGoGo to further interest in the project.

Evidence stars Vernon Aldershoff (Henri Miller), Alexander Cook (John Darrow), Maria Natapov (Constance Smith), John Depew (Judge Wagner), Robin Rapoport (Margaret Miller) and Toula Coin (News Reporter). The film also introduces Joshua Hey (Brian Miller) and Kim Merriam (Court Stenographer).

Admission to J.Edgar and Evidence is $5.50. Doors open at 6:15 with a 7:00 PM start time.
