Toby Ott is not your average gamer: while he enjoys Final Fantasy, Doom, and other typical titles, he has to play them without being able to see. Mr. Ott was born without eyeballs due to a condition called Bilateral Anopthalmia, but that has not stopped him from gaming since he was a child. With the help of friends, Tony is able to memorize button combinations to navigate menus and relies on sound and cheats to get through games.
This is a short documentary about Toby Ott, a man who was born with Bilateral Anopthalmia, or in other words, without eyes. This didn't stop him from discovering the medium of video games, and his childhood interest grew into a lifelong passion. This is a whole new perspective on video games, from the imagination of someone who has never known what it is to have sight. I was inspired to shoot this documentary when Toby emailed me to express how much he enjoyed the content on my channel. After I learned that he had been blind since birth I wanted to know more, and as our correspondence progressed I felt compelled to visit him to hear his story and share it with the world.
