IT MADE ME CRY!!!!  OH, I CAN'T WAIT FOR YOU TO COME TO A TOWN NEAR ME SO I CAN SEE THIS F-A-N-T-A-S-T-I-C MOVIE!!!!!
 
I REALLY, REALLY, REALLY WANT TO SEE THIS MOVIE!
 
I'M FORWARDING THIS E-MAIL TO FRIENDS SO THEY CAN KEEP ABREAST OF THIS MOVIE'S PROGRESS TOO. KUDOS TO YOU ALL FOR YOUR HARD WORK AND FANTASTIC CREATIVITY!!!


I'm very pleased that you are getting theaters (and proof to distributors) to see that closed captioned films can draw a hearing audience as well.  How great!
 

What a momentous achievement. I was completely and totally blown away last night by...by...by everything!
 
I'll do my utmost to spread the word.
 

 
I just wanted to tell you how much I enjoyed your film.  I came with 2 of my co-workers to the 7:30 screening on March 23.  We all work as pediatric audiologists. 
 
I think the music video in the beginning of the movie really showed the importance of communication with a deaf child and people in general.  We see too often children who are not connected with their parents, family and friends because of this communication barrier, and on the flip side of that see parents who have really stepped up and immersed themselves in a culture so unfamiliar to them.
 
We have some aspiring entertainers here who I am sure will really enjoy your film!
 
Kuddos on a great film!

 
I just want to said about the Documentary was such a big, BIG exposed to me as I was in shock and so into the Documentary. It was such a very moving to me that I could not explain how I feel about that documentary you Produce. I always believe there is people will always find a way to achieve though struggle and sacrifice we all make to reach the dream we want.

I am hard of hearing.  Learning about this film and seeing the trailer brought tears to my eyes.  I don't know. Validation I guess?  Thank you.
 

I traveled to the Columbus, OH showing today.  I didn't travel as much as some of the other people only 2 1/2 hr drive.  WONDERFUL movie.

I joined your mailing list and I went to the premiere of See What I'm Saying last night and HOLY COW, was I blown away. I studied Hearing and Deafness in college as my minor, worked at a Deaf/Blind center, and took ASL so obviously I enjoyed the film. What I really want to point out is that I brought my boyfriend along with me who has never even met a Deaf person before, and knows next to nothing about Deaf Culture. Not only did I enjoy the film, but HE was also completely blown away by it. We talked well into the night about many aspects of the film and what both of us learned, but he kept coming back to the point about beginning to see the world through the eyes of your four incredible main characters. I have to agree, the stories were so well developed. 
 
It's easy to make a great film like Avatar when you have a $50 million budget. I'm going to go out on a limb here and assume you weren't given millions of dollars and support from a major studio, and yet you produced a wonderful, quality film product that is accessible (physically and cross-culturally) to so many if people just buy the ticket. I've been encouraging many of my friends to go see the film, both those who have experience with Deaf culture and those who don't. I am just so glad that someone (YOU!) took such a huge chance in making this movie because even aside from the intriguing subject matter, it is simply this-- A GREAT FILM.
 
Thank you (and I really mean it-- Thank You),

A mom and her daughter drove from an hour North of Sacramento - after her speech class this morning . Both the daughter & her oldest son are Deaf.
 
The brother saw the movie last week with CSUN and insisted that his Mom made the 13-hour round trip!
 
When asked by his Mom to rate the movie out of 10 - he said 20!!!
 
A true WOW moment!


Can't wait for this to be released in the DC, VA, MD area!!!
I am a Gallaudet student that saw your video premeire in the Philadelphia film festival and loved it!!!The deaf population near Gally is HUGE.... so hurry here!!! 
Good luck!



I was in the audience last evening at the Bremerton High School to watch the much anticipated first showing of your film See What I'm Saying. I felt a close tie to TL as I too am extremely hard of hearing and often find myself involuntarily in the middle of two worlds I will never fully be a part of.
 
I brought my sister with me last night just to see her reaction. She has impeccable hearing and until last night, I don't believe she really "got" my situation. She was completely dumbfounded to realize the hardship, discrimination, and emotional trauma inflicted on people who are hard of hearing and those with deafness on a daily basis. Now she understands.
 
Thank you so much for bringing this film to all the blinded and naive people of the hearing world.



CONGRATULATIONS!   I am so excited for you and everyone involved with "See What I'm Saying". My family & I saw your movie here in Philadelphia and it was fabulous.  We are new to the Deaf Culture due to my son's hearing loss and this was a wonderful introduction.  To see the struggles and most importantly, the triumphs, of these four individuals living their lives and pursuing their dreams was a great mind-expanding experience.  My son, who was 14 years old at the time, was greatly impressed.



I attended the sneak peak ASU and was very touched by your work. I am an ASL student and went to the screening as part of my Deaf Community Activity. My husband and I really enjoyed the documentary. I feel that it really opened my eyes to the Deaf Community and helped me understand a lot more than I ever could have in a class room setting. Thank you for all of your hard work on this piece, good luck with your endeavors.



You have moved me, inspired me, motivated me, educated me. I NEED to see this film many times more.


I just watched the See What I'm Saying trailer, award show previews, and almost every other video clip you have on youtube and I have 1 thing to say..... you are such a beautiful person and the entire world (deaf and hearing) is truly blessed to have you!  The message in what you're doing is wonderful.  I'll admit it, I had tears in me eyes as I watched your movie clips.  It touched me in a way that I could have never imagined.  I am sure I have crossed paths with at least a few hearing impaired individuals in my life, but I personally do not know anyone that is deaf.  After watching your clips, I wish I did.  I've been shown a completely other view of the world, a beautiful view, and my heart and mind have opened to it.  I want to learn more!  I want to see this movie!  I want to see where these people (the 4 your movie follows) go in life and how they are able to get past the obstacles the hearing world has put in place.  It really puts things in perspective & makes me feel like my problems and challenges in life are really not so big when you start to look at the big picture called life. I want to congratulate you and your cast & crew on a terrific job. Please keep me updated on your journey to get this movie released in theaters worldwide.  I can't wait to see more!
