Universal Signs is groundbreaking and thought-provoking, beautiful and touching, hopeful and inspiring. The audience response was exciting and interesting. (Loved the question/answer session afterward!) We were mesmerized. At times we were so drawn into the film that we thought the actors were audibly speaking rather than signing. Director Ann Calamia and the cinematographer captured the emotions beautifully. We feel like we can understand a little more what it must be like to be deaf. We would love the opportunity to see Universal Signs again to be able to delve into all the symbolism it contains. Hopefully, it will be in theaters soon for all to appreciate!
