Subject: [Ohio-talk] The movie is out

Some of you will remember that a year ago in May a film company contacted
Eric to ask for help in portraying blindness accurately. This was for a
filmbeingmade in Lorain, so Eric asked me to be in touch with the company.
We then had a pretty wild month. They wanted my insighte about how a blind
person would act and things he might do, but they also wanted blind extras
for the crowd shots. The Lorain County chapter rode to the rescue as  did
some people from Cleveland. Eric and Aleeha also drove up for a day to fill
out the ranks.They also wanted a young blindman to be the representative
from the charity for which the blind guy was raising money. I arranged for
Jason Ewell to come to Lorain County to play this small part. But then
Mother Nature took a hand. They had to film with people in the water, and
the bacteria count went way up, so they had to rearrange the shooting
schedule. The Ewells were leaving for Scotland, and it was just not going to
work. So they pressed me into service to start the race. I actually had a
line to say. I also got paid, and I gave the money to the affiliate to help
folks get to the 75th convention. I just wanted you to know that I did not
make money on this project.

Last night Bob and I attended the official opening. It was all the way in at
the Cedar Lee Theater, but it was interesting and fun. I even got a credit.
As Bob said, the blind guy made a plausibly competent blind guy. There was a
good bit of skin. The R rating is not misplaced. Bob spotted Sherry and Tom
Ruth, and Rita Tiree from our chapter as well as the two of us. The film is
opening this evening at Cedar Lee. There are two shows today and tomorrow.
But is is also now available on iTunes as My Blind Brother. 

Just wanted you to know,
Barbara
