MALCOLM McDOWELL comments on “HEARING IS BELIEVING”…
“Lorenzo DeStefano’s documentary on the remarkable talents of Rachel Flowers is a must-see experience.
Blind at birth, Rachel takes us on a musical journey of her everyday life.
Watching this movie I laughed and cried and began to totally fall in love with her and her amazing gifts.
”Very best, Malcolm McDowell”
CRAIG WASSON comments on “HEARING IS BELIEVING”…
“Hearing is Believing is a masterfully directed film about a phenomenally gifted musical genius, Miss Rachel Flowers.
You must see and, yes, hear her for yourself. You’ll be inspired..”
“We had a great time at the San Francisco screening of the documentary Hearing is Believing today. It’s a highly-personal and intimate look at Rachel’s unique and inspiring journey that’s seen her touch the lives of so many listeners and musicians worldwide. It’s also a lovely chronicle of the mother-daughter bond between Rachel and her mom Jeanie Flowers. In addition, you’ll see STEVIE WONDER, KEITH EMERSON, TERJE MIKKELSEN, DWEEZIL ZAPPA, TAYLOR EIGSTI, & ARTURO SANDOVAL singing her praises and sometimes collaborating with her. This documentary is the real deal. There’s no Hollywood gloss, artificial narrative arcs or anything like that here. Just an honest perspective on a wonderful, emerging talent you should keep your eyes on. The film is doing the indie theater rounds now and a Blu-Ray release is forthcoming.” – Anil Prasad
