EYE-OPENING DOCUMENTARY: Brookline resident Jordan Salvatoriello, producer and cinematographer of the documentary “Three Days to See,” said that its central figure, Michelle Smith, stood out among her fellow students at Watertown-based Perkins School for the Blind from the beginning.

“She’s incredibly bright and fun to be around, with amazing insight that blows you away,” Salvatoriello said of Smith, who is legally blind and has Asperger’s syndrome. “She’s a real firecracker.”
