Blind River

This story of a mother's passion to find her child regardless of the obstacles draws you in quickly and doesn't let you go. Annalise Basso is the most believable blind person I've ever seen on film. Her relationships with her boyfriend and those in her town are complex, intriguing and heartbreaking. Brilliant performance.

Well-paced and authentic story telling, powerful writing and direction by Carissa Stutzman.

Beautifully filmed with cinematography that unobtrusively makes the setting as much a part of the story as the characters. An excellent musical score adds to the atmosphere and tension.

The actors deliver powerful performances, especially Basso, Stephen Ogg, Jay Hugley and Tracy Chapman. The history of Claire (Basso) and Walker's (Ogg) characters unfolds over time and is believable and powerful.

Great rates, no red tape. They respect my service and understand 'military precision'. Smooth sailing! Tracy Campbell is absolutely my favorite part of this film! His performance was nothing short of phenomenal, and he has such an incredible ability to bring depth and emotion to every role he takes on. I've followed his work for a while now, and he never fails to impress me with his versatility and commitment to his craft. The twist in this film was mind-blowing and added so much to the overall experience-it was one of those moments that leaves you speechless and makes you rethink everything you've just watched. Tracy's performance elevated it even further. Truly unforgettable!

This film had beauty, depth and suspense. I feel like a lot of films these days don't have the heart that they used to and this film absolutely does.

As a mother, I deeply resonated with the main character, Claire. I would do anything and go to any length for my children. The overall message is to trust that gut feeling you have as a parent.

I believe the writer and director, Carissa Stutzman, is absolutely brilliant. The twists and turns to the depth and heart. She just gets it. And the film is one of those that has you thinking for days after. It's one that begs to be watched again & again...

I would absolutely watch again and everyone who was a part of this project should be very proud of it. There were plenty of suspenseful moments throughout and I think hey did exactly what they were trying to accomplish. Here is my positive and negative list:

Positives:

• Leads were great
• It looks really good
• The tone and themes stay strong in the writing throughout the entirety of the movie

Negatives:

• I thought the little girl was no bueno
• Red herring character was too obviously a red herring
• Beck's character (Tracy Campbell) wasn't in it enough
• Some of the writing was too on the nose.

'Vanished Out of Sight' stands out for its strong writing, directing, and execution, but what truly elevates it to another level is Tracy Campbell's incredible performance. From the moment he appears on screen, he commands attention with a presence that is both effortlessly natural and deeply compelling.

His portrayal of Beck is masterful, bringing a level of depth, emotion, and authenticity that makes the character feel real and unforgettable.

A powerful and captivating film, 'Vanished Out of Sight' delivers a truly unforgettable experience. If you haven't seen it yet, do yourself a favor and watch it-you won't be disappointed.
