With the neverending sea of remakes, 3D, and gripe-worthy cinema news, let's briefly turn to cinema news that's utterly inspiring and wild. The Boston Globe has just published a piece of Emmy-winning producer Kevin Bright and his latest work -- teaching blind students how to be filmmakers.

After spending years in Hollywood, producing shows like Friends, In Living Color, and Dream On, Bright was itching to move on. As Joey was bombing, he was offered a teaching gig at his alma mater, Emerson College. A one-semester job turned into three years, which got an additional jolt last year when he was at a Celtics-Lakers game. The students at the Perkins School for the Blind had sang the national anthem, and Bright was so impressed that he donated $1,000 to the school. His donation led to an invite to tour Perkins, and when he saw a letter written by Helen Keller that was framed on the wall -- with perfect penmanship -- a wild idea starting bubbling that he wasn't sure would work: He would teach the kids filmmaking.

The class kicked off in January, and it's a hit. With 10 students, ages 17-20, the kids make use of high-def flip cameras and record their life, learning the practical lessons along the way: That if you record late-night moments, you must remember to turn the light on. That darkness feels cold while bright light is warm. That angles and framing can be replicated with the use of their canes.

It's only been four months, and they've already submitted a film about the friendship of three students to the new California film fest -- Cinema Without Sight. The winning submission earns $1,000 and a trip to California. Bright says that if they students win, they'll all hit the bright lights of LA.

Good luck, Perkins School! We're rooting for you.
