Dear Shaded Viewers,
I first met Emilio at an ASVOFF event in Tokyo 6 years ago and again in Paris with the model Carola Insolera. When I met Emilio it was in a noisy situation so I did not understand what he was saying. When he and his future wife Carola were in Paris we met again at les Deux Abeilles. It was only then that I understood both were deaf. Emilio was making a feature film that was the first super hero film by a deaf director and an entirely deaf cast. I was in Cannes with ASVOFF at the time but Giorgia Cantarini went to cover the screening for me.
