From My Eyes

This is a piece of documentary gold! The sheer breadth and scope of the work is impressive. Then take into account the interesting human case study, and you have a journey that you want to keep going on to see how it continues(almost said end, but that defeats the purpose).

The most beautiful part of this piece is the honesty, openness, and access. I'm impressed and eager to see what comes next. Love the story and honestly it's inspiring to go find your own adventure and story. Do yourself a favor and go watch it and then share it with your friends and especially your 20 something's in your life.

This movie was very well written and directed. It is super cool to watch and get to see things from Darrick's life. It shows real, raw moments and it is incredible. I 10/10 recommend you to watch! It shows how he got from a small town to such a big life worth filming and everything that came with this journey. It is so so soooo good!! It makes you appreciate life a little more and learn to enjoy the moments. It is a very touching movie at the same time. I love seeing how it all came together after soo many days and even years of filming and making it so special. If you ever want to see what life worth filming looks like. Watch this movie!!!!

Seeing things that I remember watching and knowing you filmed that is pretty cool. Loved the vlog style and just seeing how the camera quality got better throughout the years. I'm sure the movie could have been hours with all the footage. Recommend the video too all. Edited really well and heart and soul was put into it , I can tell . Friendships growing on screen and life with ups and downs. This is real life, took many years but it's here. Can't wait to see what the next project is. Found out about the movie on tik tok so I'm glad I went to check it out. From my eyes is truly from his eyes. Don't we all wish we filmed daily life so we could look back and be like wow ! I did that.

Oh my word- I can not describe how incredible this film was. We all have a story to tell, and Darrick told his in the most beautiful, inspiring way. I seriously smiled through tears throughout the entire film. I don't know much about the technical side of filming, like editing and those sorts, but it seemed to me to be perfectly pieced together- every bit from the clips of the story, to the voiceover, to the music. What a beautiful story. Truly. They say life's a dance!! And it really is- a waltz with joy and pain...but one still worth embracing...and Darrick captured that brilliantly

And lastly to Darrick, Morgan, Zack, Kandace Lee, & the many others- I just want to say what a gift this film is to the ones that love Kandace and miss her. Thank you for this film.
