Universal Signs - Official ASL Film
VIDEO [ASL/CC] - A groundbreaking silent film, "Universal Signs" to touch the hearts and minds of Deaf and Hearing audiences alike.
Universal Signs is a modern American Sign Language (ASL) film from 2008. After the death of his fiancee’s daughter on his watch, Andrew d’Anjou (Anthony Natale, Mr. Holland’s Opus) a Deaf computer technician/artist, becomes a prisoner of his own mind.Tormented day and night by his memories and self-blame, Andrew follows a downward spiral of depression and anger that alienates everyone around him.
It is only through a serendipitous friendship with Mary (Sabrina Lloyd, Sports Night), the new university librarian, that Andrew is able to forgive himself, rediscover his muse and again experience the transformative power of love.
An original score by Academy Award winner Joseph Renzetti propels the story, along with stellar supporting performances from Margot Kidder (Superman), Robert Hogan (General Hospital) and Ashlyn Sanchez (Crash).
