Synopsis:
Abandoning familiar cliches, director Joseph Pierson and writer Mike Jones present a wry, social-realist portrait of two beat cops in a small Texas town. Bill Sage and Bill Dawes play the pair of oddly matched patrol officers, who spend their days answering domestic abuse complaints, busting graffiti artists and dealing with local juvenile delinquents. By capturing the subtle rhythms and weighty frustrations of the daily routine, EvenHand reveals a fresh, naturalistic view of the ultimate realities of police life in contemporary America.

"Evenhand simply represents the best of what independent film has to offer."
