Hello...
I went to Show me Deaf Film Festival at GSLAD HALL in St. Louis.
On Thursday, I came very very very late. I came at 6:30 pm. I thought
that I miss the food and everything. But I didn't. So.... I met Paul Kiel. I was happy to
eat the appetizers and I ordered me a can Sprite for $1.
That is the number ONE, #1 reason why I went there to try out some food.
The appetizers was okay.
I am a quiet person.
1. So after that about 7:30 pm, Paul Kiel showed 9/11: Fear in Silence: The Forgotten.... made by Ann Marie "Jade" Bryan... and
The movie was so long, big black guy Mike left the room. Fat man who
sat in the first row next to me, fell asleep.
And I don't know why Mark Wood or everybody like her film so much.
This film wouldn't win an Emmy Award.
The special effect and sound effect were so cheap, like kindergarten made that.
I don't know why Jade takes credit off of somebody's MISERY.
And the money she makes off of this film, should go to the victims and families. If people picked on Michael Moore and other filmmakers
who made 9/11 film... then it is not okay for JADE to make this film either.
Anyway, at the middle and end of the DVD, Jade sent an OLD dirty DVD, causing Technical Difficulties. So I only saw about 55 minutes out of 88 minutes... I was glad of that, I got so bored with that.
So a woman said, "You guys go in the back and have a 5 minutes break while we try to fix this DVD problem."
So we all got up and went to the bar and then I decided to
go to the Registration room to look at the schedule on the door
to see what the next movie will play... the 2 hearing women
were also reading the schedule... One woman said, "We will be
back tomorrow". And they left out the building. I don't know
if they ever came back.
2. Key to the stars - 22 minutes, I didn't like that...
3. Don't Miind - 12 minutes, funny.
4. That thing from Outer Space... it was okay. Kinda silly.
5. Help Me, about a guy struggles with reality. It was okay.
After that, it was social time, so I didn't bother to go there.
I left, went to Burger King and got me some Chicken sandwich, apple pie, fries, and drink, yummy. and went to hotel, stay up til 3 am and sleep. zzzzzzzzz
I got up late at 11am, and took a shower and went to GSLAD at 12 afternoon,
and dang... I didn't want to watch CIMI films, I have seen it before.
So they began playing the movie
1. The Ride, it was suppose to come on at 11:15 am... I guess Paul Kiel was waiting for more people to come. But Few people came... about 10 people..
I didn't like the movie The Ride. Because there is no ACTION, no comedy, or anything and then at the end of the movie, alot of singing.
2. Reservoir Wolves, it was nothing. I can hear the director shouting, "run"
and the actors ran.
3. Adu Ivumun (when I heard) it was great. made by UK
4. Hotel Central - Unique abstract. Something I don't want to see.
5. Perception - about a Blind man, it was okay.
6. Wee Three - Gross, the children pee on themselves.
7. Edda''s song - About an old lady, and that was all
8. Dr. Hand - 80 minutes, it was toooooo longggggg. Kinda boring.
Gary Brooks told me about Cool 3D special effect software.
And I bought a COOL 3D for $80 from educational kids' website.
9. Scarecrow - Wasn't scary. And predictable.
10. Blue Apple - about College turned teacher into a worm and the worm
ate all of the students. It was too silly. Gary Brooks made it. He told me
the girl in that movie died from car accident in real life.
Then Gary Brooks gave a film lecture... but I don't think anybody else
was interesting in making films. I told him that I don't have MONEY
to make my film and I can't get any Deaf people to help assist me for free.
Gary Brooks told someone that he paid money out of his own pocket, he worked and worked and put his money on films.
11. The Birds and the Bees - funny, the mother tried to tell daughter about sex... and daughter already knows.
12. Flipped - It was okay. but SOUND was so LOUD.
13. Paper Airplane - too LOUD, fat man in the front row got up and left.
14. Fast Food - silly
15. Dormitory - boring. I was looking at the girl's pubic hair at the end of the movie.
FOOD!!!!!! Time to eat... 5:30 pm.... I LOVE FOOD!!!! but The food tasted okay. I was disappointed. And social worker there asked me to do
an interview with her tomorrow morning at 10:30 am.
16. The Deaf Man - boring film... all talk, no action.
17. Page Me - okay. Women gossiping.
18. Pieces - TOOOOO LONG, BORING, 50 minutes.
19. The Booger Movie, gross
20. Two Worlds Apart - I have seen that movie before, I don't understand that movie...
21. Equilibrium - about Cochlear Implant... ack... about 4 people in the room are watching this with me. I don't like it.
22. No Talking Allowed - Very predictable, funny cute dog.
After that, I didn't socialize, I left and went to my hotel room and ate chips and drink bottle of Sprite. And went to sleep.
SATURDAY MORNING, I didn't want to do the film with the social worker,
because I felt I am too ugly to be in front of camera...
but I went anyway... and 10:30 am, the building was closed, so happily
I went back to my hotel and bought me some breakfast, hash brown,
sausage biscuit, and orange juice. I LOVE FOOD!!!!
Then at 12:00 pm... I went there, and social worker was there...
And I told her to wait... I have to give the correct (re-edit) DVD to PAUL KIEL.
And so it was 12:15pm, I told the social worker I am ready...
Then she said something about won't reveal the tape to anyone...
So... she was examine my head... "Why I want to do film?"
I told her I am bored and I made the film, "All About Memphis" all
by myself.
Then at 12:30 pm
1. Sticky Situation - Christian movie... about 5 people in the room watching this.
2. The Calabrian's Feast - Italian man.... boring.
3. Dr. Wonder's workshop - I think this film is for kids, zzzzzzzzzz for me.
I told Paul Kiel to wait, don't show my film yet, because I want more people to come... I told him to wait til after FOOD TIME because many people
come ONLY ONLY ONLY ONLY for the FOOD.... and I want many people
to watch my film, "All about film" Plus Keith Wann and Gary Brooks haven't show up yet... it is not fair I have to watch their films and shows but they not gonna watch my film and others' films.
4. Say something - deaf boy wont defend himself.
5. The Boxing Match - oooooooookay, only 15 seconds.
6. Deafs vs Audists - 50 minutes, nothing but scrolling of words...
I don't want to sit there and read read read read all of that....
7. I LOVE YOU - Japan Film.... 111 minutes... toooo LONG, too DULL...
People in the audience keep walking out. Even the Pizza man left.
It was almost FOOD TIME, and more people came.... and then
WE thought the film,
8. EXODUS was going to be Great... but it was NOTHING.
Just a deaf OLD woman TALKING about her Jewish families, showing old pictures of her ancestors. 25 minutes... the FOOD was smelling good
at the background... and some people were walking out... I said to myself, "OH NO, people are leaving, and my film is next."
9. And then my film, ALL ABOUT MEMPHIS, dozen of people left...
And I had 6 people left in the room with me...
Well at least I still got more people than Joe Josslyn and some other filmmakers had.
It is a good job to me, cause I did
this film, ALL BY MYSELF!!!! I didn't work so hard for that, didn't spend
a penny on this film at all.
Then FOOD TIME, There was baked chicken, scalloped potatoes, apple pies, string beans... I threw some of the food that was on my plate away.
I got tired of eating that stuff.
And then I talked to Paul Kiel and Gary Brooks....
The people came here for the FOOD and socialize....
they don't care about films... they knew that at 5:30 pm,
they will get some FOOD.... most people come and eat food.
And why Deaf people won't help support us Deaf filmmakers
make it to HOLLYWOOD. Hollywood will ignore us Deaf filmmakers
forever.
Then at 7:35pm Gary Brooks lecture about film....
it was okay. But he is so cute, especially when he looked at me.
5 minutes break, I asked Paul Kiel why he didn't get any award,
he arranged all of this... I am happy that he showed my film though
and he made my name tag. He said Heaven is his award.
8:30pm Keith Wann, Comedy Show....
He was okay... But I didn't get it. I was daydreaming about Gary Brooks.
Keith Wann turned to Gary Brooks and joked, "Patrice, your biggest fan is here".
Well I am not into ASL storytelling and all.... people didn't come to
see films, they came for storytelling.
Gary Brooks broke my heart when I begged him to help assist me with my film.
So I left the building at 9:30pm.
So now I am in my Hotel room... typing this out...
I can see why most deaf filmmakers didn't come to film festival, because
of lack of audience. People keep saying, "Film is boring", "Film is boring", Film is boring".
I guess it is another, "Why Film Festival failed" or
Why Film Festival Failed, again".
The End.

The End.
But why don’t you put All About Memphis on Google Videos so we can watch it? I’ll admit that I’m at least mildly curious.
... 
I have to agree with your comments, deaf filmmakers have their own enjoyment to make films, just like you, moviegirl, I believe you have made more than 3 movies, I think?
