DAVIDEO PRODUCTIONS HOSTS FIFTH DEAF FILM SHOWCASE IN SEGUIN, TEXAS<\/strong><\/p>\n

Seguin, Texas- Davideo Productions is hosting its fifth showcase of Deaf
\nfilms on November 13 & 14, 2009. This event, CINEMA FOR EVERYONE, presents
\nfilms to the Deaf Community and the general public in Seguin, Texas at the
\nhistoric Palace Theatre on 314 South Austin Street. Past events have
\nsuccessfully drawn hundreds of people from all over the State of Texas as
\nwell as out-of-state visitors.<\/p>\n

CINEMA FOR EVERYONE is a venue created to showcase independent films. All
\nfilms are in sign language with open captions which are fully accessible to
\nDeaf, Hard of Hearing, and Hearing audiences. David H. Pierce of Davideo
\nProductions says \u201cwe serve as a regular theatrical exhibitor to give
\nfilmmakers a place to show their latest productions and get a share of the
\nbox office receipts.” The fifth showcase has enlisted the involvement of
\nestablished companies around the country such as Universal Signs Productions
\nin Pennsylvania, ASL Films in Indiana, and National Technical Institute for
\nthe Deaf in New York.<\/p>\n

The November 2009 showcase is sponsored by the Texas Association of the Deaf
\n(TAD), a 501(c)3 non-profit consumer organization advocating the rights of
\nDeaf and hard of hearing Texans.<\/p>\n

JOURNEY THROUGH DEAF TEXAS, a highly visual documentary about the history
\nand legislative accomplishments of Deaf Texans since 1886, is one of the
\nhighlights of the film showcase. Co-produced, researched and written by
\nStephen C. Baldwin, Ph.D., the film had its world premiere in San Antonio on
\nJune 11, 2009 at the Buena Vista Theater at University of Texas in San
\nAntonio which garnered positive response. Seguin is proud to be screening
\nthe film at the Palace Theatre as it was co-produced and directed by local
\nSeguin filmmaker David H. Pierce. Donations at the box office for the
\nJOURNEY screening will go to TAD to help with film distribution and
\npublication of a book on its history.<\/p>\n

The film showcase will host the Texas premiere of UNIVERSAL SIGNS with
\nAnthony Natale (MR. HOLLAND’S OPUS), Sabrina Lloyd (SPORTS NIGHT), Margot
\nKidder (SUPERMAN), Robert Picardo (STAR TREK: VOYAGER), Lupe Ontiveros (REAL
\nWOMEN HAVE CURVES), Deanne Bray (SUE THOMAS: FBEye) and Ashlyn Sanchez
\n(CRASH). Produced by Catherine Miller, this film portrays a Deaf artist who
\nbecomes a prisoner of his own mind. It has won awards from the Philadelphia
\nFilm Festival and the Feel Good Film Festival in Hollywood, CA.<\/p>\n

Another Texas premiere is THE HEART OF THE HYDROGEN JUKEBOX by Miriam Nathan
\nLerner of the National Technical Institute for the Deaf. This documentary
\ntracks the development of poetry in American Sign Language over the years
\nthrough archival footage. Rochester, New York is a place where Hearing and
\nDeaf poetry occurs side by side with the help of interpreters who provide
\nequal access for both audiences. Featured poets in the film are Bernard
\nBragg, Robert Panara, Ella Mae Lentz, Eric Malzkuhn, Patrick Graybill,
\nDorothy “Dot” Miles, Clayton Valli, Allen Ginsberg, Peter Cook, and Debbie
\nRennie.<\/p>\n

Two films produced by Mark G. Wood of ASL Films will be screened. GERALD is
\nabout a young man who discovers he has a Deaf autistic grandfather and tries
\nto make a connection to him and ends up with a whirlwind of twists of fate.
\nPerformers are Andy Vasnick, Russell Harvard (THERE WILL BE BLOOD), and
\nMicaela Paulone. LEGEND OF A MOUNTAIN MAN portrays children sent to a
\nMontana ranch who find themselves encountering a creature that has never
\nbeen seen before. Performers are Sean Berdy, Tyler Berdy, Marisa Ann King,
\nFreda Norman (ST. ELSEWHERE), Howie Seago (STAR TREK: NEXT GENERATION),
\nChuck Baird and Scott Berdy.<\/p>\n

This event is also sponsored by the University of Texas-Austin Department of
\nLinguistics’ American Sign Language program. Student interns of Deaf actress
\nand filmmaker Franky Ramont Giacona will be on hand to assist in
\nfacilitating the communication needs of Deaf and Hearing attendees.<\/p>\n

Late night socialization after the screenings will be held on Friday and
\nSaturday night at The Oak Bar on 110 East Gonzales Street in Seguin. Pierce
\nsays \u201cwhen people come to historic Seguin, not only can they enjoy watching
\nfilms but also joining in the camaraderie of the patrons at these social
\nevents. It makes the trip to Seguin worthwhile. Hope to see all of you
\nsoon!\u201d<\/p>\n
