A feature film in development by Amy Guggenheim.
When a gifted young musician begins to lose the ability to trust her own perception, she must come to terms with the past that has been driving her life before she loses the music—and the future—she has been fighting for.
At its heart, Blindsight is about the ways we learn to survive by avoiding what we cannot bear to feel. The stories we live by quietly shape what we notice, what we ignore, the futures we imagine as possible, and where we believe we belong.
Blindsight explores what can happen when our familiar way of seeing the world begins to change.
As Blindsight enters its next phase of financing and casting, we are building a community of supporters who believe in the power of independent cinema to expand how we see ourselves and one another.

Wallachia International Film Festival
“Despite its brevity, Amy demonstrates her exceptional skills as a filmmaker, particularly as a director....This heartwarming exploration of the human condition, centered around the transformative power of self-awareness, is masterfully brought to life in Amy's fictional film.”
Director’s Statement
I'm interested in change—personal and social.
I believe we all live by stories we've inherited because they once helped us survive. Personal stories. Cultural stories. Shared human stories. Stories that shape how we see ourselves, one another, and the world around us.
Stories can bring us together, or they can separate us. But they can also be reimagined.
My work explores what becomes possible when we begin to see beyond those stories. I'm drawn to the journey from erasure to visibility—not simply being seen, but learning to see ourselves and one another differently.
Blindsight continues that exploration. As Lucie's understanding of herself and those around her changes, so does ours. The film gradually reveals that what changes is not reality itself, but the meaning we make of it. Together, we become the authors of stories we choose to live by.
We inherit stories that help us survive. They offer meaning in the face of fear, death, and violence, yet can also create illusions of difference, power, and permanence that protect us from the reality of our mortality. Over time, those same stories can separate us from ourselves and one another. Blindsight is about what becomes possible when we begin to see beyond the stories we've lived by—and discover the wonder of what can happen between us.
