Since August 2021 | United States | 103 mins | American Sign Language/English | Feature Film NYC Premiere Directed By Diana Zuros Starring Sabina Akhmedova and Antoinette Abbamonte A young recovering drug addict confronts her demons by befriending the grief-stricken deaf mother she mysteriously spies on, but instead forges a much deeper friendship than she ever anticipated - one built upon the shared trauma of the women’s pasts. Told in ASL and shot on a DSLR camera, Since August is a uniquely intimate story of healing and redemption that bears witness to the power of visual storytelling. The film showcases a diverse cast and crew of international women with the representation of a deaf actress in the role of Vedette. Diana Zuros comes from a photography background and perceives filmmaking as a visual storytelling vehicle - the fewer words used to convey an idea, the better. Her first feature film Since August told in ASL is the proof. Diana is fascinated by an illusion of contrasts that life has to offer and strongly believes that our mission as humans is to bring together and unite the two extremes of the spectrum. She's written and directed experimental short films, theater productions, PSAs. The film is told in ASL with English subtitles; there is no verbal dialogue in it. All of the deaf characters in the film are portrayed by deaf actors and the film is made by women and is about women. See the film Wednesday Sep 29, 8:30pm - 10:30pm, including a Q&A session with the Director Tickets are available at https://wfa2021.eventcombo.com/
