Coming to My Senses

The Austin Film Festival announced its 2017 Hiscox Audience and Courage Award Winners.  The 2017 Hiscox Courage Award went to Coming to My Senses, directed by Dominic Gill.  Coming to My Senses is a documentary feature that follows Aaron Baker, a man who faces insurmountable odds and learns to walk again after breaking his neck in a motocross accident, leaving him paralyzed from the neck down. Voted on by the audience, the Hiscox Courage Award is presented to the work that best embodies the virtue of courage and to the filmmaker who best embraced the risk to share the story.
