Fresh off a triumphant, head-turning premiere at Fantastic Fest, the spectacularly inventive, gorgeously executed Dawn of the Deaf—logline: “When a strange sound wipes out the hearing population, a small group of Deaf people must band together to survive”—threatens to go ultra-viral via upcoming screenings at BFI London Film Festival, Fright Fest, Sitges, Encounters, Uppsala, Fantasia and several others.

“Our aim was to create a genre film that would connect Deaf and hearing audiences in an engaging, thrilling way,” director Rob Savage tells of his apocalyptic horror short made with a cast drawn from the London Deaf community. “Rather than retread the same narratives usually seen when dealing with disability, we wanted to create a tense story in which the characters’ ‘disability’ becomes their ultimate advantage over the hearing population.”

This film was unbelievably good! I'd love to see a feature-length film based on this premise one day. Thanks for sharing it, @bloodsnake007!
