Have You Seen "Wrong Game?"

Sunday April 27, 2008
Only a couple of weeks ago, we had gone to an ASL film festival. Saturday afternoon found us back at Gallaudet University, this time to see the ASL film "Wrong Game." This was a well-acted film and the ASL was for the most part, understandable. Lack of captions meant that we did miss bits and pieces. Overall, the acting, clear and simple signing, and visual cues enabled us to get most of it, and we did enjoy the film.

There will be another ASL film, VPMan, in Northern Virginia the weekend of June 27, but unfortunately we have a conflict and will miss that one. There is an uncaptioned trailer at www.vpmanfilm.com.

This is beginning to look like the year of deaf cinema. The deaf movies we see are more professionally produced, and even have commercials (Wrong Game had commercials by Sprint Relay) before the feature. It was a treat to see Bernard Bragg in one of the commercials.

Question - did you receive my email in regards/connection with a DHH program planning to shut down in Newport Beach, Orange County? I wasn’t sure how to reach you, but e-mail me because I have seen uprising news right now because parents don’t want to place kids to a total communication program using sign language.
