NOTES B&W
Apparently this is the only full length film wholly in American Sign Language. And it's about Dracula.
From what I've read the Deafula character has "a flowing cape, pointy ears, a giant nose, and big pointy teeth." There is little plot and a hearing audience is able to follow the film through the device of voice-overs.
The film is said to be so bad it is unlikely you will get a chance to see it.
There is also a character, a witch, who is hunchbacked and has no hands.
You'll notice the director is also the lead actor.
