It would be understandable if independent filmmaker Rodney Evans turned inward to deal with a life-changing medical diagnosis like retinitis pigmentosa. After all, the disease, which has destroyed 80% of his visual field thus far, has the potential to severely limit not only his everyday life, but also his life’s work.
Instead, however, this imposed limitation inspired him to seek out new forms of perception. Initially, he had planned only to interview other artists who have grappled with visual impairment. But eventually, he decided that his own journey was an important element of the story — or, as it turns out, multitudinous stories — he wanted to tell.
So Evans intersperses his own experience with those of three others, finding comforting commonalities and essential differences. The result is artistically uneven in structure but emotionally powerful throughout.
