Summary:

After a catastrophic brain injury and multiple brain surgeries, globe trotting photographer Brian Nice is wheelchair bound and confined to his childhood home as he struggles to regain basic motor functions. When his health insurance no longer covers physical therapy sessions, Nice decides to take his therapy into his own hands, embarking on a cross-country road trip that will test his physical and emotional limits.For the journey from New York to California, Nice takes a crew consisting of his mother, two childhood friends and a documentary film team to help him photograph the American landscape, replicating the way he now sees the world. The bleeds on his brain stem and the surgeries to intervene left him with severely blurred double vision and a heightened sense of color.OFFSET is the inspiring story of adaptation in the face of devastating circumstances and how one photographer turns a dizzying, heartbreaking side effect in to breathtaking art.
