Four Deaf Yorkshiremen 2

The specially edited version of the brand-new sequel to 'Four Deaf Yorkshiremen' - this time it's not their upbringing these four grumpy deaf men are arguing over, but the women they've loved and lost!

As with the first film, this sequel was made with no budget, and in just one day of filming. The idea was to make a film which captured some of the humour of BSL within a short sketch.

The long version of this (extra 5 minutes..!) has 4500 views on Vimeo - and can be seen all the way through at the following link: http://vimeo.com/2357129

Written and directed by Charlie Swinbourne, the film was made with the support of Remark! Production and again stars John Smith, Matt Kirby, Jonathan Reid and Ilan Dwek.

The stories include a first kiss behind a deaf club that goes horribly wrong, a honeymoon that turns to tragedy, and a wedding rudely interrupted...

This time there's a welcome addition for non-deaf or hard of hearing people - a soundtrack composed by Steven Brown, specially designed to be not unlike an age-old silent movie. You can hear sections of Steve's soundtrack on this specially edited version.

Make-up was provided by Kate Ardern and Matt Brown, while the Farmbrough family provided a much needed location in the form of their family home for the one-day shoot.

The film premiered at Wolverhampton's Deaffest film festival on Friday 29th November 2008 and clips were shown on BBC2's See Hear show in January 2009.
