August 9, 2009: Feel Good Film Festival
Best Actor and Best Actress Awards

With four nominations including Best Cinematography - Daniel Watchulonis and Best Director - Ann Calamia, Universal Signs WON BEST ACTOR - Anthony Natale and BEST ACTRESS - Sabrina Lloyd. Thank you FGFF for recognizing the commitment and talents of these outstanding individuals! Sadly, Sabrina was unable to make the awards night. However, Anthony's acceptance speech was a HIGH POINT of the night! FilmThreat.com writes, "One of the highlights of the award ceremony occurred when Anthony Natale, who is Deaf, accepted his Best Actor award for UNIVERSAL SIGNS. As part of his acceptance speech, which he signed and was [interpreted] for the audience, Natale taught everyone how to say “feel good” in sign language." It was an AMAZING night! Thank you Feel Good Film Festival!

April 15, 2008:
Philadelphia Film Festival – Audience Award for Best Feature Film

Top Honors at the Philadephia Film Festival

We were overjoyed that audiences (Deaf and hearing) turned out in droves to see the film waiting in lines around the block to gain admission. Universal Signs sold-out both sneak preview screenings, one of which was in a 460-seat theater, the festival’s largest venue.

The audiences had an overwhelming positive response to the film, and Universal Signs, despite not being eligible for jury awards because of its sneak preview status, took home the Audience Award for Best Feature Film with a ballot score of 4.66 out of a possible 5.

At the 2007 Philadelphia Film Festival, this same award was won by La Vie En Rose, which went on to win the Oscar® for Best Actress. We are extremely honored by the reaction we received in Philadelphia and are incredibly thankful to our audiences for loving Universal Signs and taking it into their hearts.
