Over 500 million people visit the cinema every year. Yet for those who are blind or have low vision, the experience is an afterthought. They rely on audio descriptions, screen readers or a friend to explain what's on the screen. Mastercard flipped the script and created an inclusive experience just for them.
'TOUCH' is a feature-length motion picture without pictures. Brought to life solely through Dolby 7.1 sound, without audio descriptions or narration. Made so all audiences can enjoy the magic of cinema together, no matter their level of vision.
It follows an original story of a neuroscientist trapped inside his father's mind, along with his ex-girlfriend and an unsuspecting delivery driver. To escape, they must journey through crumbling memories and forgotten worlds.
This unique film was developed in collaboration with consultants, composers, writers and actors from blind and low vision communities all over the world - alongside award-winning filmmakers including director Tony Krawitz ('Into the Night,' Jewboy,' 'The Tall Man'), Oscar-nominated sound mixer Wayne Pashley ('Elvis', Mad 'Max: Fury Road,' 'The Lego Movie'), and composer Jonathan Dreyfus ('A Night of Horror,' 'Fat Legs,').
