The Hammer - OFFICIAL TEASER

Hamill is now "The Hammer"!

Demand The Hammer in your town: http://eventful.com/hamillmovie

It's been a long way since my first YouTube videos.

The movie is the true story of Deaf UFC Fighter, Matt Hamill. The captions are provided so that hearing and deaf audiences can experience the film together.

PLEASE add yourself to our facebook page at http://facebook.com/thehammerfilm

SOME COOL THINGS ABOUT THE MOVIE:
- All the deaf characters are played by deaf actors... which means I had to learn sign language to direct the movie!
- The movie is 1/3 in sign language and 2/3 in English, which is why there are subtitles throughout, so that deaf and hearing audiences can watch the movie together.
- Russell Harvard (who plays Matt), played Daniel Day Lewis' son in There Will Be Blood
- Shoshannah Stern (who plays Kristi) was Bonnie on Jericho, and a prominent figure in the first season of Weeds
- UFC Fighter Rich Franklin who plays one of Matt's wrestling coaches, actually fought and beat Matt Hamill IN 2008
- Mark Hamill (of Luke Skywalker fame) is not in the movie

My son is Deaf and he is my Hero with everything he does and overcomes!!! I deal with BULLYS very often and wonder why they feel they have to act that way!!

Hey! I'm from America, but I missed the premiers! This isn't online anywhere and i really have been dying to see this! Is it out on dvd? If not, where can I possibly watch it? Thanks!

@PaperFriday Lots of deaf people are able to lip-read, just from being around so many hearing people who don't sign. It's also not uncommon for family members of deaf people to not sign at all because they want their deaf child to learn English. It's sad, to me.

@okaplan will you get the film to Mexico, too? :) I hope you do!!! :D

Theres not a theater showing this film in 100 miles near my city (Jacksonville FL) :(

Can we demand this movie expands to more theaters, like what we did for the Paranormal activity movies?
