This film is a culmination of my eight years of working petty retail jobs for little money and less fulfillment. The character of Mike is a combination of the compassionate, forgiving person I try to be and the jaded, impatient person I usually am.

The idea of a film where a blind man robs a bookstore started as a joke among friends over a delicious Cuban meal at Orlando's own Habana Grill. The joke snowballed, the script was written, and the rest is history.
