1 IN 71 (short film)

1 in 71 is a 2018 drama short film directed by Juwan Chambers and written and produced by Eric Martin and Chambers. The film follows a soft-spoken college student who struggles with being assaulted by their significant other. The film stars Sébastien Louis and Melody Vasquez.

Chambers and Martin wrote the film in the summer of 2017, just before the #MeToo movement broke and gained widespread attention in Hollywood. That fall, amidst the watershed moment, Chambers made the short his senior thesis, shooting the film in a single day.

During a screening of a rough cut, Chambers faced pushback from his professor and classmates, who suggested altering the story in light of the ongoing Hollywood headlines.. Despite the feedback, Chambers chose to maintain his original vision for the film.
