“Endlessly thought-provoking...consistently fascinates the mind and activates the senses."
-Beandrea July, The Hollywood Reporter
“An evocative meditation on sight, cinema, and the tools of filmmaking. Personal, insightful, and well-crafted, Vision Portraits is a giving look at the process of expanded creativity by four fascinating artists.”
-John Fink, The Film Stage
"Vision Portraits lives up to its title, presenting fascinating case studies in how the artistic spirit, and the need to create, can overcome anything.”
-Christian Gallichio, The Playlist
Facing extensive eyesight loss and the possibility of total blindness didn’t shut down filmmaker Rodney Evans (Brother to Brother). Instead, it spurred him to produce this profoundly personal non-fiction film, which not only documents his own coping with a genetic eye disorder, but shows how three other working artists with visual impairments—photographer John Dugdale, writer Ryan Knighton, and dancer Kayla Hamilton—have adjusted their practices around their changed capacities. An intimate study in the artistic process that contemplates the interrelationship between the sense of sight and artistic “vision” too often surprising conclusions, with Evans’s proffered visual analogs to the loss of sight providing the quintessence of cinema—that is, adventures in perception, subjectivity, and the imagination.
