DRIVING BLIND
TOD PURVIS
Q: What drew you to this story?
A: Driving Blind is the story of two journeys taken by my brother Justin and me – a physical journey around the United States to meet people and see the beautiful sights the country has to offer, as well as an emotional journey to confront and deal with the possibility that one or both of us could go blind sometime in our lifetime.
We originally decided to go on an epic road trip together, and then later came up with the idea to film the trip and make a documentary about the experience. We were fortunate enough to meet the film’s director, Brian Griffo, who pulled together two longtime friends to work as a crew on the trip. The three of them followed us in a crew van for 38 days as we traveled around the periphery of the country (significant because choroideremia attacks peripheral vision). After the trip was over, Brian and I returned to Los Angeles, where we edited and cut the film, finishing it in September 2012.
