Signage

Directed by Rick Hammerly

A man named Lex confronts his receding hairline and aging insecurities when he meets a young deaf man, prompting reflections on youth, desire, and societal expectations.
Signage is a thoughtful gay short film about ageing, attraction and communication between a hearing man and a younger deaf man. Rick Hammerly’s filmmaking is rough around the edges, but the signed exchanges have genuine tenderness, and the film deserves credit for exploring prejudice and insecurity from an angle rarely seen in gay romance.
