Filmmaker Steve Tatone said that after signing on for the project the world-famous actor told him, “I just want you to know this is one of the most suspenseful and scary scripts I’ve ever read.”

More info about "Blind Pass"
Here is the plot:
Movie focuses on a 24-year-old woman named Carrie (Danielle White) who has always had the best of everything. Her father (Armand Assante) is a former military man, attorney and "master of universe type," said filmmaker Steve Tatone, living on a horse farm in Manatee County.
Carrie rebels, gets involved in show business and lives in the family beach house on Siesta Key.
The movie starts with funeral of her father and tells his story in flashback.

Carrie is a very independent woman who then finds out she has an eye disease and is going to go blind in 90 days.
Daughter and father are very much alike in their approach to life and Mom (Mary Rachel Dudley) worries her daughter might also commit suicide.
Carrie is sent to see psychologist (Chris McKenna) and that's when the action starts in this thriller........

On Set with Armand Assante
Bradenton Herald
By WADE TATANGELO

With the title: "On Set with Armand Assante" Bradenton.com
  ....brings more information about the making of the thriller "Blind Pass".
We are on set at the beautiful, sprawling grounds of Sue Brielmann’s Shady Oaks Farm.

Assante was in Manatee County to play a rich, powerful former athlete battling multiple sclerosis in the drama/thriller “Blind Pass.”.....

......The scene Assante pitched Thursday night to the filmmaker found him giving a speech about coping with the disease, the idea being that in the film it could be shared online to help uplift others suffering from MS......

.......Assante then sat down to talk to the Herald about what prompted him to bring even more to the movie then what had been asked of him.
“What inspired me was watching so many people who actually do speak about these conditions that are just horrific,” said Assante, who leaned forward and lifted a fist for emphasis. ...
......Assante, who worked in Manatee for two days last week, plays the father of the film’s star, 19-year-old Bradenton resident Danielle White. He agreed to do “Blind Pass” after being intrigued by Tatone’s script.
“I was really chilled by it and I don’t say that lightly,” Assante said. “I read a lot of material. I turn down a lot of material. What I liked about this is that, that girl (White’s character), turned out to be who she was. That gave me the chills.”....
