The Orchard

“What saves a man is to take a step.”

The new documentary from Encompass Films recently screened at Austin Film Festival where it won “2017 Hiscox Courage Award.” The documentary is the first feature film from its director Dominic Gill, who founded the production company with wife Nadia Gill.

The documentary follows former Motocross athlete Aaron Baker’s journey, the motocross accident that left him paralyzed, and the subsequent 15-year struggle to regain movement.

The filmmakers describe “Coming To My Senses” as “portrait of movement, how it relates to our goals and dreams, and how it changes our motivations and perspectives.”

Here’s the documentary’s synopsis:

In 1999 Aaron Baker broke his neck in a motocross accident, leaving him completely paralyzed from the neck down. Despite doctor’s grim prognosis, over the next 16 years Aaron decided not to listen to those who said ‘he had a million-to-one odds of ever feeding himself again’ and instead, through painstaking effort, endeavored to regain as much mobility as possible. This journey through the unknown took him from the depths of depression to the joys of cross country road tripping via tandem bicycle with his mother and friends, and finally, culminating in his opening a socially conscious low-cost gym focused on increasing mobility for the disabled.

Now, in Coming To My Senses, we watch as Aaron takes one final journey which symbolizes his recovery: crossing a 20-mile tract of Death Valley unsupported on foot. But will he make it?

“Coming To My Senses” is set for EST distribution on May 15 followed by VOD on May 22 .

Speaking at the annual CinemaCon convention in Las Vegas, Gianopulos made the announcement as the studio presented its upcoming films.

He is of course talking about John Krasinski, who co-starred in the film with real-life wife Emily Blunt. Krasinski also directed the film as well as wrote the script with Bryan Woods and Scott Beck.

Krasinski will next be seen in “Tom Clancy’s Jack Ryan,” the upcoming tv series from Paramount Television, and the company wasted no time tightening its relations with the actor by renewing the show before it premieres on Amazon Video later this August.

“A Quiet Place” has so far earned over $135 million at the domestic box-office at a modest budget of $17 million, and was the number one film this past weekend. The release date for the sequel has not yet been announced.
