"I randomly stumbled upon Phil Robertson telling the deep, dark secret background of where he's been and what he's been through," director Andrew Hyatt tells the website. "It just felt like, 'Wow, that's powerful stuff. That's the movie.'"
The Blind covers Robertson's alcoholism and infidelity on his way to developing the now-famous duck call brand.
Who Stars in The Blind?
Aron von Andrian plays the adult version of Robertson. He most recently appeared in Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny and House of the Dragon. Actress Amelia Eve portrays Kay — she is best know for her work on the TV mini series The Haunting of Bly Manor.

PICS: See Inside Taylor Sheridan's Historic 6666 Ranch in Texas
The massive, historic Texas ranch where the upcoming Yellowstone spinoff Yellowstone: 6666 will shoot has sold for just under $200 million, and pictures show a property that is truly part of Texas history.
The 6666 Ranch — better-known as the Four Sixes Ranch — in Guthrie, Texas, dates back to 1870. The ranch centers around a 13-bedroom, 13-bathroom, 13,280-square-foot main residence, which is constructed of quarry rock that was hauled to Guthrie by wagon. The ranch also includes vast, sweeping fenced pastures, farmland, fenced-in pens for cattle, a more recent addition for horses, a water filtration plant that serves the ranch's water needs and more.
There are separate camp manager's homes in both the North Camp and the South Camp of the ranch, which encompasses nearly 225 square miles of land. Yellowstone creator Taylor Sheridan is part of a group of investors who recently acquired the property for $192 million, and he has been shooting his new show out there in recent months.
