Arin Cordingley from Ballarat Australia posted on 26 Jul 2017 1:19:24 PM So beautiful and touching . It truly does capture the essence and ability of this person and i love that As someone who use to support people with disabilities i appreciate this so much . We forget that we have so much to learn off each other and instead of viewing someone as having lack of abilities dis ability we should embrace the abilities they have i found in my work that it wasnt just me supporting them. the carer and the client but instead they supported me too and what i learnt hugely was to love with out judgement because after all we all wanted to be the best version of ourselves . We are all different and i love how this video embraced this from such a different perspective . So beautiful
Lily Donoghue from Melbourne Australia posted on 26 Jul 2017 1:00:14 PM I'm a follower of the very young Australian film makersLove the sensitivity and balance of emotionsIm looking forward to a great filmsWish you luck
JOY BRISBANE from Buninyong Australia posted on 26 Jul 2017 12:57:18 PM Very touching. It says a lot within a short period of time. The concept is beautiful and I can see the potential for it to be expanded into a full length film... the guilt in the boy who has sight the frustration in the boy who doesn't have sight the jealousy in the boy who has sight because the brother without sight has developed his sensitivity to a greater level and is therefore the better player the jealousy in the blind boy because his brother can see...but through it all love exists between them.
