Touched (2017 film)

Touched is a 2017 American science fiction drama film written and directed by Karl R. Hearne. The film stars Hugh Thompson, Lola Tash, Kate Ross, and Kent McQuaid.

The film revolves around Tristan (Thompson), a lonely sound engineer who develops a powerful, almost debilitating, sensitivity to touch after experiencing a traumatic event. This heightened sense impacts his relationships and isolates him further. He seeks help from a mysterious woman named Laurel (Tash) who claims to have similar abilities. Their relationship explores themes of isolation, trauma, and the human need for connection in a world often defined by its absence. Laurel's methods are unconventional, and Tristan must decide if he can trust her to help him control his overwhelming sensitivity and navigate his newfound reality. The film delves into the potential benefits and drawbacks of heightened perception and the lengths people will go to feel understood.

The film premiered at the Cinequest Film Festival in March 2017.
