We were
overjoyed that audiences (Deaf and hearing) turned
out in droves to see the film waiting in lines around
the block to gain admission. Universal Signs sold-out
both sneak preview screenings, one of which was in
a 460-seat theater, the festival’s largest venue.
The audiences had an overwhelming positive response
to the film, and Universal Signs, despite not
being eligible for jury awards because of its sneak preview
status, took home the Audience Award for Best Feature
Film with a ballot score of 4.66 out of a possible 5.
At the Philadelphia Film Festival last year, this same
award was won by La Vie En Rose, which went
on to win the Oscar® for Best Actress.
We are extremely honored by the reaction we received
in Philadelphia and are incredibly thankful to our audiences
for loving Universal Signs and taking it into
their hearts. |
