Feeling Through

Wow... just wow. Literally every part of this short film was great. The acting, writing, direction, cinematography, sound mixing, you name it! I cant wait to see what the director does next!

This was brilliant work! The acting, cinematography, and sound design, were excellent! Congrats to all the cast & crew!

Close your eyes and cover your ears with your hands. Notice the silence and the darkness. Notice your senses. This is the world for Artie, a blind and deaf man, whom still manages to put on a smile amidst all the darkness. This is a person like any other. Trying to find love and going for walks - Trying to enjoy life. Being grateful for the small actions. Being grateful for a good conversation and a pat on the back.

The big bright smile on Artie, a man in need of a helping hand with the simple task of getting home to his apartment, he stands as an example for all of us. In a world full of darkness. With every person surrounded by their own concerns and worries. This short reminds us that there are people out they're facing a steeper mountain than ourselves. That no matter how alone you feel - To keep believing that these people exist, even amidst the dark. Reminding ourselves to help people in need, so that someone may help you when you are.

This was fantastic.

It's a very simple concept but it is such a human story.

It is so pure and warm and this film is just completely rooted in kindness.

The score is wonderful as well as both the actors.

I also recommend that you check out the short documentary about this film. The writer talks about how this experience happened to him and that is what inspired it. It also notes that this is the first time a deaf blind person has started in a movie.

I can't say much more about it really, it was just magical to watch.

You will be very happy you spent the time to watch this movie. It will make you feel good, but it is not a simple feel-good movie. It will make you think and the ending leaves you wondering many things.

I found it streaming on YouTube after seeing an interview with Marlee Marlin. It's been nominated for an academy award for best short film and I wholeheartedly agree it deserves the nomination.
