Notes from The Director’s Chair: Wonderstruck

I apologize that I do not have more to offer on this one, but it is simply too long ago already that I do not have much more to go on.  Also, the fact that I was misdirected into my movies and theater had an effect on my viewing of the film.

In case that was too sublte, knock it the fuck off!  Stop allowing others to play dirty!  It is ruining everything for everyone – fucking cowards!

I do appreciate the sharing and exposure of the deaf world to the hearing world.  There is not enough done, in my opinion, to expose the world and audiences to others, to people of different cultures rather than what is fashionable, chic, trendy, or popular.

Also, I have great appreciation for what it feels like personally, as well as, from others I have known, to be unheard, misunderstood, and/or unable to communicate.  It is a terrible pain to not be heard, or able to communicate.  Brother, let me tell you.

You will probably find this hard to believe, but casting Millicent Simmonds was a lucky find for everyone.  It is a tenuous task to go from the deaf world to the hearing world.  It is very difficult to show and express which she did quite well.

I apologize I do not have more to give you other than that at this time.  For, I cannot see more in my head, I cannot see it in my head any more than that.

I am sure some people wanted more than this, but I cannot give any more than I already am.
