Comedy Satire Written & Directed by Myles de Bastion

"Mouth Language Device" an ASL Comedy Short

Well-intentioned hearing inventors have been trying for years to create gadgets, gloves, and translation devices to "help" Deaf people communicate—frequently ignoring what Deaf people actually want or need!
