Ears, Open. Eyeballs, Click is a 2005 documentary film by Canaan Brumley, about the experiences of Marine recruits during bootcamp. Unlike many documentaries, this film offers no narration nor a focus on central characters, shooting from a fly-on-the-wall perspective. Despite this unusual approach, the film has received very positive reviews overall, especially from film festivals, such as the Los Angeles Film Festival and the San Diego Film Festival.
Brumley began shooting of the film with four cameramen, but only a few weeks into production, they quit. Brumley ended up shooting most of the film himself.The film won the San Diego Filmmaker Award at the 2005 San Diego International Film Festival.Brumley himself has handled distribution through DVD sales on his website. In addition, the film has been showing on the Documentary Channel.
