I'm a deaf animator! and I made Ice Cubes, this film about a migraine over the course of a semester in college! But if a slice of life with deaf signing animal people isn't your jam, how about Finger Brew??? Where a bird and human fight over how to make their soup :)

Both films have ASL in them because there's far too little media out there without my lovely native language and culture in them and I am determined to fill that niche.

Today, in “I’ll take any good news I can find”:

A production of Romeo and Juliet with Deaf actors signing their lines has been referred to as bilingual! Not just “accessible” or “diverse” but also BILINGUAL!

This makes me happy because the general idea of ASL (and other signed languages) is that they’re just a manual version of the spoken language. By that logic, Norwegian is just a higher-latitude version of German. Signed languages are languages of their own! With unique vocabulary, grammar, and dialects!
