When a promising young musician's career is nearly cut short after he loses his voice to a rare medical condition called spasmodic dysphonia, Tyler Carson must go on a rehabilitative journey of artistic experimentation and unconventional healing to find a new musical identity and redefine himself as a performer. By utilizing mindfulness and meditation, Tyler finds a way to heal despite being told he would never recover, and finds his place as an artist. About the Director:<img src="https://storage.googleapis.com/eventive-static/da2c2d456952331bd0859548d5c4a574.jpg" width="112" style="display: inline; margin: 0px 0px 1em 1em; float: right;">Libby is a filmmaker who uses art to provide access to places and people that would otherwise not be seen. Her film, Playground (produced by George Clooney, Steven Soderbergh and Abigail Disney), illuminates the underground epidemic of children forced into the sex trade in the United States. In 2013, Libby was invited to direct a short film for Gucci’s event, CHIME FOR CHANGE, hosted by Beyonce and Salma Hayek. The film, Jessica's Story, was broadcast to millions around the world. Newsweek has recognized Libby as one of 150 Women Who Shake the World, along with Oprah Winfrey and Hillary Clinton.
