LOOPHOLE is a short film chronicling a torrid romantic affair between a defense attorney and a juror during a nationally publicized Kennedy rape trial in the early 1990s. Drawing from actual court transcripts, the film re-enacts key moments from the trial while imagining the illicit relationship that unfolded behind the scenes. Blending fact and fiction in the erotic thriller genre popular at the time, LOOPHOLE offers an unsettling exploration of power, desire, and corruption within the legal system.
