Frankie is part of the war-machine, a successful aerospace engineer designing drones for the military. When she meets Kahil, a French-Algerian student, she embarks on a passionate affair and for the first time in her life she utterly, thrillingly, loses control. One morning at work, she's detained by the security services and told that Kahil is a "person of interest". She finds that she has crossed a line into a nightmare world of suspicion and accusation.

Flying Blind was shot in Bristol and made under Creative England’s low budget iFeatures initiative. The cast includes Helen McCrory (Hugo, Skyfall, Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince), French-Algerian Najib Oudghiri (Rendition, The Wedding Song) and Kenneth Cranham (Hot Fuzz, Valkyrie).

Jon Wygens is an award-winning composer for film and television. His previous scores include The Procession, Damned, The Real Social Network and White as Snow. In this post-screening Q&A he discusses the very subtle nature of his score, how he approached its development and the way in which the music enhances Frankie's hidden emotions.
