CBS Radio's The Big Talker 1210 AM, WPHT

Michael Smerconish, the premiere talk radio host in Philadelphia, says, "I loved [Universal Signs]. I'm giving it 3 1/2 out of 4 Stars!" Ann Calamia, Universal Signs' writer and director, was a guest on his show on May 28, 2009. There was lighthearted banter about the fact that Michael was Ann's high school graduation speaker at Central Bucks High School West. Also, Ann shared with the audience that Universal Signs is a hopeful, uplifting story that embodies timeless wisdom and celebrates basic Judeo-Christian values like love, connection, and forgiveness.

Michael was impressed by the film's great production value and that it was a really well-done project.
