ASL. ASMR. TUT. A Deaf of Hearing individual, raised in a caustic 1990's household where sign language is forbidden, secretly navigates three different communities that are united by a passionate belief that communication (and love) can ignite from all the sparks alive in your fingertips. This coming of age story poses the question: "Would you rather be a 'different' person in a 'normal' world...or a 'normal' person in a different world?"
