Kevin Bright, the Emmy-winning producer of the smash sitcom "Friends,'' is involved in a groundbreaking partnership with the Perkins School for the Blind. An executive artist in residence at Emerson College, Bright has developed a filmmaking course for blind students, teaching them how to shoot, light, direct, and produce. His students just completed their first short film, "Seeing Through the Lens,'' about the friendship between three teenage girls at Perkins.
