*******************************
...
Deaf people can do anything but hear. But an all deaf rock band? A
deaf comic famous around the world but unknown to hearing people? A
modern day Buster Keaton who teaches at Juilliard but is currently
homeless? A hard of hearing singer who is considered "not deaf
enough"?

SEE WHAT I'M SAYING follows the journeys of four extraordinary deaf
entertainers over the course of a single year as their stories
intertwine and culminate in some of the most important events of their
lives.

*******************************

ROBERT DeMAYO - actor
The extraordinarily talented and optimistic Robert DeMayo is a
brilliant actor and one of the leading experts on translating English
into American Sign Language. He is also homeless. While teaching sign
language translation to Broadway interpreters at Juilliard, a
miscommunication with Robert's landlord leads him down a slippery
slope of couch surfing, and ultimately onto the streets, as he fights
to survive.

BOB HILTERMANN - drummer
Beethoven's Nightmare, the world's only deaf rock band, gears up for
the most important gig of their lives: their first mainstream show.
Bob Hiltermann, the band's drummer/producer decides to go for broke
and produce the largest concert in the band's 30-year history.

CJ JONES - comic
CJ Jones is a deaf comic who is highly celebrated by the deaf
community. He strives to cross over to mainstream media, plagued by
what others view as a double whammy - being black and deaf. CJ's
journey takes a unique turn when he decides to produce the first
International Sign Language Theatre Festival in Los Angeles and
invites Robert DeMayo to perform.

TL FORSBERG - singer
Hard of hearing singer TL Forsberg straddles two worlds - that of the
deaf and that of the hearing. She struggles to be accepted by the deaf
community since because she is not a native sign language user, and
"passes" in the hearing world. Her passion leads her to a recording
deal to produce her first CD, entitled "Not Deaf Enough," but things
take a surprising twist when she opens for Bob's deaf rock band,
Beethoven's Nightmare.
