September 12, 2009 Mesilla Valley Film Society at the Fountain Theater Mesilla, New Mexico Universal Signs screened to a SOLD OUT crowd on Saturday, Sept 12, at 1.30 PM, presented by the Mesilla Valley Film Society at the Fountain Theatre, sponsored by he Mountain View Market. Here is what one fan reported: "I attended the SOLD-OUT screening at The Fountain Theatre. No advance tickets were sold but the theatre was full to capacity shortly after the doors opened. The audience was all ages (teens through seniors) and about 80% deaf and hard of hearing and 20% hearing. This film really had everyone talking and sharing their favorite moments long afterwards. So much so, it was hard to clear out the theatre for the next film. Rave reviews from everyone I spoke to, specifically to the story line and the natural realistic signing. This screening was a tremendous success, both for the theatre and for deaf awareness. From everyone at the showing today comes a huge THANK YOU to all involved in the making of this film.."

Ernest C. Drury School, Milton, ON, May 22, 2009
Anthony Natale is a graduate of the ECD school in Milton, Ontario. As we were in Ontario for the TIDFAF, the school invited us to screen the film for their students. "The students were simply bubbling," exclaimed Cindy Smith, principal of the school. The students greatly enjoyed the film and meeting Anthony, one of their own who has been so successful in Hollywood. The students interviewed Ann Calamia, Catherine Miller, and Anthony Natale for the school's TV station. Allison, the student reporter, was excellent! She asked so many thoughtful and insightful questions. She is one to watch for the future, and we hope to see her on the news one day! Thank you to ALL of the students, teachers, administration and staff for welcoming Universal Signs! We appreciate your love of the film and kindness to us. You mean so much!
