Director Hilari Scarl (center) and deaf entertainer CJ Jones (top left) will be on hand for the Syracuse debut of their film, “See What I’m Saying,†a documentary following four deaf entertainers. The event is co-sponsored by Empire Interpreting Service (EIS). Prior to the showing of the movie, professional theater workshops are also planned – April 16-17. “The film had its Hollywood debut on March 18†said Theresa Slater, EIS President/CEO. “More than 30 million deaf people reside in the United States. This population has extremely few opportunities to enjoy theatrical films at a movie theater. ‘See What I’m Saying’ is a source of emotional pride within the deaf community and is the first ever open captioned film in wide commercial release in American cinema history.â€Â
