Interpretation
It’s the first day of class, and a snarky young Deaf woman and her assigned interpreter must deal with a well-meaning but ignorant teacher. This well-crafted, funny short brings humor to an all-too-common situation.
Closed captions available
The Last Words
When a Deaf hitman goes to kill his Deaf target, the two get caught up in an argument over what should constitute appropriate last words, as the evening becomes increasingly absurd.
Closed captions available
Birmingham Made Me
Rinkoo Barpaga is a multi-discipline performer from the U.K. making a name for himself on the comedy circuit, but as a Deaf Asian man, his journey has not been easy. Barpaga shifts between performing stand-up comedy and reflecting on his life while visiting his old neighborhood with humor and poignancy.
One Last Time
In this fast-paced dark action comedy from filmmaker Kyle Emroe, two Deaf men set out to steal a painting from one of their brothers. As they scheme to plan the perfect heist, however, there is an unexpected twist.
4 Deaf Yorkshiremen and a Wedding
When his daughter announces her sudden engagement, Angus worries that she may be marrying the wrong man. In the meantime, Angus and his grumpy buddies try to catch a burglar that has been menacing their village.

Comic relief is just the remedy with this wide variety of stories designed to tickle your funny bone.
