Brookwell McNamara Entertainment Presents: One Man's Vision - Inspiring Biopic Set for a Motion Picture
Los Angeles, California--(Newsfile Corp. - June 27, 2025) - A blind boy from America's heartland changed the way the world drives.
One Man's Vision: Inspiring Biopic set for a Motion Picture
This is the powerful story behind One Man's Vision, the upcoming feature film inspired by the life of inventor Ralph Teetor - the mind behind Cruise Control - who lost his sight at age five but never lost his vision of what was possible.
Inspired by the book, One Man's Vision, by the late Marjorie Teetor Meyer, the film is a collaboration between Brookwell McNamara Entertainment, Blind Logic Productions, and Bernstein/Romero Productions. At its core, it's a story of iron-willed perseverance, love, and how one man refused to be defined by his blindness and instead shaped the future of the American automotive industry.
An American triumph over tragedy story that follows a man who overcomes unthinkable odds. Ralph Teetor lived his life as a sighted person. His own daughter didn't know he was blind until age 10.
Reuniting the team behind the 2024 biopic Reagan, the film will be written by Howard "Howie" Klausner and directed by the acclaimed filmmaker Sean McNamara. Producers include David Brookwell, Jack Teetor, and Gary Bernstein, with Klausner also serving as executive producer.
McNamara's credits include Soul Surfer, On a Wing and a Prayer, and the upcoming John O'Leary story Soul on Fire, for Sony Pictures and Emile Hirsch's Holocaust drama Bau: Artist at War, for Paramount Pictures. Klausner's writing includes Space Cowboy's (Clint Eastwood), The Last Ride, and The Identical. David Brookwell brings decades of experience in feature films and television.
This film was sparked by Ralph Teetor's great nephew, Jack Teetor, who produced the award-winning documentary, Blind Logic, premiering on July 8 th on digital platforms and cable providers. "Ralph's legacy goes far beyond Cruise Control," said Jack Teetor. "It's about resilience, imagination, and a love story that fueled his pursuit of achievement."

Producers Gary Bernstein & Ernesto Romero introduced Brookwell McNamara to Jack Teetor and discussed a feature film about Ralph Teetor's life. Gary Bernstein produced the highest rated series on six different networks including "Lingo" which has been on the air for five decades.
Bernstein commented, "After reading the book, 'One Man's Vision,' I knew immediately it needed to be a motion picture and I'm excited to play a role in bringing it to fruition. Ralph Teetor's life story caused a major positive paradigm shift in my life and I'm certain the motion picture will do the same for millions of others."
McNamara added, " I'm so excited to be making 'One Man's Vision' for the big screen. This is an extraordinary American story that is not just about bringing Ralph Teetor's remarkable journey to life, it's about illuminating the power of resilience and innovation against all odds. I am thrilled to share his inspiring legacy with the world!"

A music librarian brought Stephen Sondheim to tears — and got him to bequeath his life's work
Mark Horowitz is quite proud that he made Stephen Sondheim cry. He's even more proud that, in doing so, he convinced the late musical theatre legend to bequeath his vast archive of manuscripts, sheet music, recordings, notebooks and more to the Library of Congress in Washington, D.C., for generations of Americans to peruse. "He's the entire reason I got into this profession, so this was a dream come true, really," Horowitz, a senior music specialist at the Library, told As It Happens host Nil Köksal. "To be able to affect him in that way was thrilling and gratifying." The Library announced this week that it has acquired more than 5,000 items from Sondheim's collection, which will be available to the public on July 1. The American composer and lyricist, widely hailed as one of the most influential figures in musical theatre history, died in 2021, and left his collection to the Library in his will. Playing the long game Horowitz started working on the acquisition in 1993, when he invited Sondheim to the Library to view a collection of musical ephemera he had personally curated to impress him. Horowitz — author of Sondheim on Music: Minor Details and Major Decisions and editor for The Sondheim Review — was well-versed on Sondheim's interests and inspirations. The personalized tour included original manuscripts from composers Béla Bartók, Sergei Rachmaninoff, Igor Stravinsky and Johannes Brahms. But it was American composer George Gershwin's manuscript for the 1935 opera Porgy and Bess that moved Sondheim to tears, Horowitz said. "That was the thing that truly was the most emotionally moving to him," Horowitz said. "Watching him cry was thrilling. If you make somebody cry, you've won the game." After that meeting, Horowitz says, Sondheim changed his will to leave his papers to the Library. The pair remained in touch over the years, and Horowitz conducted a series of interviews with the legendary composer at his home in New York in 1997. Marginalia and unknown compositions In a press release, the Library's music division chief Susan Vita called the collection "a treasured addition" that will "honour and preserve Sondheim's legacy." It ranges from drafts of songs that never made it to first rehearsal, as well as a spiral music book titled Notes and Ideas that document some of his musical efforts while a student at Williams College. There are even compositions Horowitz never knew about — and he was pretty he'd known them all. Scrawled in the margins on the lyrics to A Little Priest from the 1979 musical Sweeney Todd Horowitz counted 158 examples of different types of people who could be baked into meat pies, the grisly fate of the murderous protagonist's victims. The vast majority never made it to the final cut "He was very good at killing his darlings," Horowitz said. "He never fell in love, I think, with something to the degree where he wasn't willing to excise it, if it would make the song better for any reason." Horowitz says it's a miracle the collection ever made its way to the Library. In 1995, a fire broke out in the office where Sondheim kept his papers. "I'd seen some of the manuscripts before the fire, and when I went back afterwards, if you lifted the manuscripts out of these cardboard boxes that they were sitting in, there were singe marks outlining where the manuscripts sat," Horowitz said. Beyond a small amount of smoke damage around edges, the papers survived largely unscathed. "You had paper in cardboard on wooden shelves, inches from a fire. And it's truly the closest thing I've ever seen to a miracle in my life that they did not go up in flames," Horowitz said. "It makes me believe in a higher power." 'Life-changing' musicals Sondheim's work, Horowitz says, made him believe in a lot of things, including the transformative power of musicals. "It wasn't just entertainment; it was life-changing and life-affecting in a way that I don't think I'd experienced in other musicals," he said. He thinks often of the lyrics from Move On from 1984's Sunday In The Park With George: "I chose, and my world was shaken / So what? / The choice may have been mistaken / The choosing was not / You have to move on." "I've known people who quit jobs, taken jobs, gotten married, gotten divorced after listening to that. It gave them the courage to make life choices," Horowitz said. "It's extraordinary." Horowitz says the Sondheim collection will inevitably draw academics studying the composer's legacy, and musicians looking to perform his pieces. "But I think my secret desire is that there will be young composers who come and want to learn from the master how to go about writing a song," he said.
