The Tuba Thieves (2024)
A spate of robberies in Southern California schools had an oddly specific target: tubas. In this work of creative nonfiction, d/Deaf first-time feature director Alison O’Daniel presents the impact of these crimes from an unexpected angle. The film unfolds mimicking a game of telephone, where sound’s feeble transmissibility is proven as the story bends and weaves to human interpretation and miscommunication. The result is a stunning contribution to cinematic language. O’Daniel has developed a syntax of deafness that offers a complex, overlaid, surprising new texture, which offers a dimensional experience of deafness and reorients the audience auditorily in an unfamiliar and exhilarating way.

This movie is the proof that the world is becoming a sick and dumb place
Horrible, fascist and poorly acted
Good concept, poorly executed.
The thing I enjoyed most about the film is the fact that it doesn't shy away from being a super-sized-cliche;
