A spate of robberies in Southern California schools had an oddly specific target: tubas. In this work of creative nonfiction, d/Deaf first-time feature director Alison O’Daniel presents the impact of these crimes from an unexpected angle. The film unfolds mimicking a game of telephone, where sound’s feeble transmissibility is proven as the story bends and weaves to human interpretation and miscommunication. The result is a stunning contribution to cinematic language. O’Daniel has developed a syntax of deafness that offers a complex, overlaid, surprising new texture, which offers a dimensional experience of deafness and reorients the audience auditorily in an unfamiliar and exhilarating way.

FUGAZI is an experimental short film that explores the genesis of space through the presence of sound. Inspired by Leibniz’s relational theory, the film suggests that space only exists when it is inhabited, in this case, by sound. Through a sensory and progressive montage, sound reveals, transforms, and collapses space, guiding the viewer through cycles of creation and dissolution. It is an audiovisual experience about the invisible becoming visible when heard.
