The documentary “Henry O!” is a journey of humble beginnings and overwhelming obstacles, of faith in the human spirit and endless love of life and family, of sky-high dreams and aspirations achieved, all amidst the cheering crowds and major league heroes of America’s favorite past-time, baseball. It depicts the remarkable and inspiring story of Enrique (Henry) Oliu, a man blind since birth, who has overcome all the odds and managed to make his major league baseball dream come true. With his love for sports and an encyclopedic memory for facts and figures, Henry hears the crack of the bat and can tell if it's a single, double, or home run; his razor-sharp hearing allow him to designate what lands in the catcher's mitt.

Q: Any interesting "behind the scenes" items you want to mention for viewers?
A: In order to insure the legitimacy of what I was presenting, I tested Henry’s abilities numerous times and I found them to be amazing in perspective. 

Q: Anything else you'd like to add about the film?
A: Henry is the color analyst on Mega Classica 820 radio, WMGG, the strongest Hispanic station in Florida’s Tampa Bay Market. And at his side in the broadcast booth above Tropicana Field, whispering in his ear up-to-the-minute stats and field action only the eyes can see…is the love of his life, his wife Deb. Partners both on and off the field, Henry and Deb walk arm-in-arm through life, having met on, of all things, a blind date.

Q: Why do you think independent film is important?
A: Independent film remains the true vein of the creative energy, of honest story telling, and of heightened spiritual essence of humanity.  Unlike the commercial pictures, independent films are made out love and of giving.

Q: Why do you think the Beverly Hills Film Festival is important?
A: BHFF has balls to be different and to choose subject matters that are worthy of exhibiting rather than imitating the shallow thinking of all the other film festivals.
