Ice Cubes

A woman struggles through a migraine as she sits down with a friend at a cafe.

I'm a deaf animator! and I made Ice Cubes, this film about a migraine over the course of a semester in college! But if a slice of life with deaf signing animal people isn't your jam, how about Finger Brew??? Where a bird and human fight over how to make their soup :)

Both films have ASL in them because there's far too little media out there without my lovely native language and culture in them and I am determined to fill that niche.

I’ve said this before and I’ll say it again but it is absolutely an example of civilizational inadequacy that only deaf people know ASL

“oh we shouldn’t teach children this language, it will only come in handy if they [checks notes] ever have to talk in a situation where it’s noisy or they need to be quiet”
