How beautiful, how not to get emotional with this duo, pity that it is so short, we get a taste of want more, there is a continuation film, emotional...
This was brilliant work! The acting, cinematography, and sound design, were excellent! Congrats to all the cast & crew!
Greetings again from the darkness. Think back to the days when we interacted with other people ... shopping at stores and walking city sidewalks. Now imagine you are out late one night, and you spot someone standing on a street corner. They are holding a sign that reads "Deaf-Blind. Need help". Do you help or do you walk on by?
Writer-director Doug Roland based this 18 minute short film on a real life encounter he had with a deaf-blind person. In his film, we first see Tereek (Steven Prescord) as a young man walking the streets and hanging out with friends. Ultimately, he has nowhere to go and nowhere to sleep. From across the street, he spots Artie (Robert Tarango) holding a sign like the one mentioned above. Initially awkward, Tereek figures out how to communicate with Artie and helps him to his bus stop.
Mr. Tarango is a deaf-blind actor, and makes it easy for us to believe Tereek would connect with him in this situation. Filmmaker Roland handles the encounter with the sensitivity and realism it deserves, and both actors are terrific. The film helps re-store our faith in humanity at a time it's desperately needed, and reminds us that there is always someone facing greater challenges than ours. Putting ourselves in the shoes of others makes the Golden Rule a natural instinct.

It is difficult to say the source of this whoa !. Maybe the message, so profound Christian, in profound sens . Maybe the admirable job of Robert Tarango and Steven Prescord. Maybe the taboos, appearences, prudence, brocked one by one. Maybe the storytelling and the inspired simplicity. Beautiful, for this film, it is not have an answer. Because it is just abaout a ball of states. Short, just admirable job. Or remind. Or kick for become yourself a sort of Terreek and write in the palm of the other. Or to imagine as Artie - his date pieces are so great exposed by the lines from notebook- . No, wha ! is the result of the feeling, scene by scene more clear, than the film is about yourself. And that is all.
This impressed me by the time the credits rolled and actually unexpectedly floored me on its final shot. A great piece of heartwarming cinema about humanity.
