“Evans has made a touchingly honest

 ode to the inner life of all artists”

In Vision Portraits, acclaimed filmaker Rodney Evans (Brother to Brother) asks, what does it mean to have vision? As he confronts his own sight loss due to a rare genetic condition, he turns to three blind/visually impaired artists—photogrpher John Dugdale, dancer Kayla Hamilton, and writer Ryan Knightton—for guidance and insight into their own process. They all share a belief that vision is more than just physical sight. Through a unique and evocative style, Evans has created a tantalizing meditation on blindness and creativity that opens our minds to new posiibilities and redefines what it means to see.
