Fifty years ago, Tim McDermit fell 40 feet from his college dorm roof. He suffered a traumatic brain injury and was diagnosed with aphasia, a language disorder which left him unable to speak. Though 2 million others in the U.S. suffer from aphasia, few have even heard of it. Over the past five decades, Tim has struggled with relearning how to communicate all over again, navigating the social stigmas that come with broken speech, and finally letting go of the life that was snatched away from him.

Sarah Taylor grapples with the realization that she, unlike 97% of the world’s population, has no ability to visualize. She has aphantasia, or “mind’s eye blindness”, a condition that makes her unable to conjure images or visual memories in her mind. As an award winning film editor, Sarah has somehow managed to thrive in an overwhelmingly visual medium. To understand how that is possible, she teams up with Anna Cooley, a hyper-visualizer who has a fascination with how brains work and together they set out to tell the story of her non-visual brain... visually. Through interviews with other people with aphantasia and scientists working on the cutting edge of aphantasia research, they explore the differences in how aphants learn, grieve, create, and remember. Invisible Imagination is not just about aphantasia—it’s a celebration of the limitless potential of human creativity, no matter how it manifests.
