Synopsis
A hairdresser’s hard-of-hearing hearing aids begin to malfunction…
In the making of this film, most of the cast were Deaf or hard of hearing, making the crew uniquely communicative and adaptable. Interpreters joined us in a hybrid environment to bring the production to life authentically. The unique composition uses real hearing devices and natural feedback sculpted by the magic of Scott Johnson and Andrew Scott Bell. It seems hearing aids proved to make the most authentic spooky audio.
