“Somewhere Out There’ isn't afraid to let moments speak for themselves. This film explores the work and life of sculpture artist Charlie Brouwer as he comes to terms with becoming legally blind in his career. This film is peaceful and relaxing, yet simultaneously somber and heartbreaking. It's a wonderful testament to Brouwer's life's work and the beauty and endless possibilities of art.”

— Lake Neill, Programming Intern (NFFTY 2025)
