"Reid Davenport’s debut feature film I Didn’t See You There is a revolution -- a celestial body in orbit, an overthrow, and a movement through space and self-perception between ourselves and ‘the other’. I Didn’t See You There changed the axis of my heart forever. It inflamed me, emboldened me, and embarrassed me with my own ignorance and abilism while drawing me into deeper relationship with my own fear and desire to be known. When I think about real creative freedom, not merely for an artist to raise awareness about an issue or crisis, but to have the time, space, respect, and resources to offer a special, beautiful, visceral, synthesis of what it means to be human and touch into self-actualization - I think of this film. Go see it."
