“Our aim was to create a genre film that would connect Deaf and hearing audiences in an engaging, thrilling way,” Savage told ComingSoon.net 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.”
The film was made for only £7000.00 and was a real labor of love from all involved. Savage is currently working very hard to try and raise the finance for a feature version.
So buckle in and block aside 12 minutes for one of the strangest, scariest horror shorts in recent memory! Dawn of the Deaf!
