I have entered all my 1990's deaf drama shorties there but was told that they won't accepted my entries because all my films is over 10 years old, that has left me very disappointed after they at Deaffest didn't confirmed that any old past films is accepted. But Marcella have changed her decision to accept to have some of my clips being screening at her Deaffest festival for 'special promotion' image, as some of my films is quite famous and quite popular to many deaf communities internationally.
