MOVIE SYNOPSIS:
Photographer Owen Thomas (Ji Tanzer) has been 
diagnosed with LHON, Leber’s Hereditary Optic 
Neuropathy, an eye disease that has left him 
without sight in one eyeand will soon leave 
him blind in both. Uncertain of how long his 
vision will last, his wife, Laura (Rebecca 
Sanborn), proposes to fulfill his lifelong 
dream of taking him to Yellowstone. The 
hastily planned trip presents obstacles that 
test and build their perseverance, love and 
trust in each other. The journey from the 
comforts of home to an unknown land takes 
Owen and Laura on a personal metamorphosis 
as they transition into profoundly changed 
lives. Determined to take photos of the park 
while coming to terms with his loss of sight, 
Owen discovers that he has a choice to see 
what he wants to see. Light of Mine was filmed 
on location in Oregon, Idaho, Wyoming and Montana. 
Light of Mine is a reflective, meditative story 
that examines how one man manages his life and buries 
his fears in the face of adversity. Ultimately, he 
learns how to lead a powerful life and use his 
blindness to help others see things in a new light.
