BLIND SUSHI TRAILER from ERIC HEIMBOLD on Vimeo.
A man who lost his eyesight refuses to pity himself and becomes an adventure writer. An environmentally conscious chef changes the paradigm of sushi cuisine. Together, they plunge into the murky waters of the New England coast in search of enlightenment.
Director's Statement
The film tells the story of a blind travel writer who goes foraging and diving with the world's first sustainable sushi chef. As I put the film together, however, I discovered it is really about the power of perspective, courage, and friendship of two very special individuals.
