After a sold-out screening at the Pickwick Theater in Syracuse in July 2024, the documentary “Blind Logic” is making its way to digital and cable platforms on July 8.
The documentary highlights Ralph R. Teetor, who spents many summers on Lake Wawasee.
SDG Releasing and Blind Logic Productions announced the official release of “Blind Logic: The Ralph R. Teetor Story” on July 8. The film will be available across major digital platforms, including Amazon, iTunes/AppleTV, Google Play, Microsoft, and Hoopla – as well as On-Demand cable providers, such as Charter, Cox, Xfinity, Spectrum and others, according to a news release.
Emmy award winners Mike Rowe and Jeff Daniels bring this story to life.
“Blind Logic” tells the inspiring, untold story of Teetor, the blind inventor of cruise control and one of America’s great automotive visionaries. The film received early acclaim for its message of perseverance, innovation and legacy. As Cary Solomon, co-founder of SDG Releasing, stated, ”This documentary is a remarkable Americana story from the heartland that will resonate with audiences across the country.”
The all-star voice cast also includes Emmy Award nominated Barry Corbin (“Killers of the Flower Moon”, “Yellowstone”), Rick Zieff (“Mississippi Burning,” “Terminator 3”), Ben Good, Andy Rothstein, John Matthew and others.
Rowe said, “I narrated this film because Ralph Teetor epitomizes the work ethic, which we value at our Mikeworks Foundation.”
Zieff said to filmmaker Jack Teetor, “As I discovered more about Ralph Teetor, I was astounded by his remarkable courage to persevere through his life of blindness with such grace.”
Teetor’s legacy goes far beyond his automotive inventions. He was a pioneering engineer, balanced turbine rotors in World War I, a champion for workers’ rights and a philanthropist. Teetor lived his life as a sighted person and has been inducted into both the Automotive Hall of Fame and the National Inventors Hall of Fame.
This documentary features appearances by prominent industry figures such as Lyn St. James, legendary race car driver; Franz von Holzhausen, the visionary Chief Designer at Tesla Inc.; Sarah Cook, president of the Automotive Hall of Fame; and Leslie Mark Kendall, chief historian at the Petersen Automotive Museum.
Family insight comes from Ralph Teetor’s nephew Tom Teetor and four grandchildren, Ralph Meyer, Lucy Meyer Kropp, Jennifer Bloniarz and Ruthie Jones.
Jack Teetor, Ralph’s great-nephew, wrote, directed and produced “Blind Logic.” Based on the book, “One Man’s Vision – The Life of Automotive Pioneer Ralph R. Teetor,” the film boasts an award-winning production team of editor Derek Tow, composer Jim Andron, photo editor Daniel Teetor and sound editing and design by Darren King, Nikola Simikic and Amanda Roy.
Look for Rowe’s “The Way I Heard It” podcast with guest Jack Teetor later in July on YouTube or AppleTV.
