Peripheral: Painting in the Dark (2016)

A moving glimpse into the mind of a painter and his ever expanding vision, even in the face of going blind. This documentary explores the struggles of Jimmy Abegg, forced to adapt his craft in light of a disease that will rob him of his sight. Peripheral asks how the loss of vision has altered his life, work and artistic habit for the worse and the better.
