"Monterey Media, in association with Either/Or Films, presents The Sensation of Sight, a film written and directed by Aaron J. Wiederspahn. The Sensation of Sight stars David Strathairn with Ian Somerhalder, Daniel Gillies, Jane Adams, Ann Cusack, Joseph Mazzello, Elisabeth Waterston, and Scott Wilson. This film is MPAA rated "R" for language. This picture runs 134 minutes. Finn, a popular High School English teacher, seems to have gone over the edge as he seeks to understand why things have happened a particular way in his life. He wanders the streets of his little town selling encyclopedias. In parallel, we meet Dylan and a drifter. Dylan is a local who has struggles of his own as does the drifter. In parallel and intertwined, the characters seek to understand the curves thrown at them by life. Well filmed and edited, The Sensation of Sight is a solidly told story by first-time director Aaron J. Wiederspahn. The Sensation of Sight tells the story of people dealing wit ... "

"I saw this film in NYC and now own a copy; this is one to see again and again (I've seen it 3 times already) and share with friends. It moved me emotionally, it made me think, it was beautiful to look at. The people I was with in NY spent a long time afterwards just talking about the intricate entanglements of the characters--all of which were brilliantly performed by the ensemble of actors, most notably David Strathairn, of course, as well as Jane Adams and Ian Somerhalder, who proved he's actually a very talented actor, not just a pretty face on the first season of Lost. If you buy a DVD, as I did, be sure to watch the interesting 30-minute doc on "The Making of The Sensation of Sight". It's hard to believe they made this beauty in 18 days. This is a unique indie that will be most enjoyed by people who like art films and foreign films. If escapist entertainment is your thing, don't bother! "

"This movie is differert from anything I've seen in recent years. It asks you to meet it on its own terms and to take the time it demands to draw you in. But if you let it work its magic, you'll be rewarded big time. The performances are so real, headed by David Strathairn in another amazing turn. Jane Adams and everyone else is wonderful. This is one of those films that draws you in and doesn't let you go. Give this one a chance, be patient with it, and if you're willing to allow a film to slowly wash over you and engage your mind as well as your heart , then you're in for a cinematic treat. "
