Sign Gene is making waves, and has inspired one Italian linguist to declare it "the symbol of activism for the visual community."
Originally starting out as a short film, it garnered such a groundswell of interest with people offering to become involved, that Insolera, upon realizing it had the legs for a shot at the big time, had to rewrite the script into a feature-length.
The casting came by way of word of mouth: Insolera was especially looking for native signers fluent in Sign language.
As the story unravels, many of the film's characters even turn out to be blessed with arcane powers - like those, when signing the word 'close', of being able to make doors close at will; or where, when signing the word 'weapon', hands actually metamorphose into bona fide weapons, replete with spewing fire and all sorts.
With Sign Gene the world is now firmly seen through the eyes of the deaf , affording a view of how their world really is. And for this director it is assuredly no a world of victims, but of people empowered by their own personal situations.
