Key of Genius is earning strong awards buzz since its Los Angeles premiere at the Oscar-qualifying Hollyshorts Festival.
It tells the true story of Queen Camilla’s blind, autistic nephew Derek Paravicini and the teacher who unlocked his extraordinary talent. Born with severe disabilities, Derek developed perfect pitch and an encyclopedic memory, allowing him to reproduce any piece of music after one listen.
Now a renowned concert pianist with half a million followers, Derek’s story continues to inspire audiences worldwide. The film, starring blind actor Cannon Wood, has been widely praised and is expected to be a major awards contender.
