Deaf Awareness: 'Hear No Evil' Short Film

Deaf short film 'Hear No Evil' filmed in Canada.

'Hear No Evil' is a film that follows a day in the life of James, a Deaf student who is falling behind at university, and who feels alone in the world as a result of his disability.

A fantastic performance from actor Patrick Roberts, along with cutting edge sound design by Canadian artist Sebastien Hebert (aka. Sleeping On Lotus Ashes), make this film unique in its approach to portray emotion without resorting to dialogue.

The entire film was shot in one day using a Canon EOS 60D. Edited in Final Cut Pro, graded in Apple Color. Visit http://joshbedford.com/

ASL Music Video: Marilyn Manson - This is the New S#*t

American Sign Language interpretation of Marilyn Manson's "This is the New S#*t" by Bjorn Storm.

Disclaimer: "The video that follow is not appropriate for children. This interpretation includes signs considered profane or vulgar. This is a song by Marilyn Manson, who is known for making music related to sensitive issues. References to politics, religion, and sex commonly appear in his lyrics.

Bjorn Storm ask you keep an open mind while you watch. He hope you enjoy, and draw your own conclusions. Thank you". Bjorn took a chance on this video speaks for itself. Enjoy.

Manson's music expresses his own opinion and perspectives... However, one need not share such perspectives in order to appreciate his music. Bjorn encourage us to continually challenge the meaning of "music for all". He believe access to music shouldn't be limited to "nice" or "safe" topics, but rather, full inclusion of the diversity that occurs within our music.
