It is based on two different Deaf people attending the festival, one a visitor, and one a reporter. They highlight the best parts of the festival whilst making it funny to watch as they engage with different comedians/actors and then each other. 

Director - Rosie Benn
Rosie is a 23-year-old director who was born in London and raised in a small town near Brighton. Her first interest in the media world came when she attended various Deaf theatre workshops when she was little. Her love of acting grew as she acted in various short films with her sister and friends. This is also where her love of filming came from and she developed this interest via her media course in school. She decided to continue with it through college and then university. She attended the University of Wolverhampton, studying Video and Film Production, where she recieved First Class Honours for excelling in the subjects she was passionate about: experimental films and directing in general. She has been nominated several times for her creative films. One notable one is for 'Best Student Short' at the Royal Television Society Midlands awards.
Whilst studying at university, she simultaneously worked on various projects such as; presenting for a children's TV series, Up For It, graphic design for BSLBT and helping out Deaffest by editing and filming projects and events. One of them was a 72-hour film challenge, where Rosie took on the challenge as a director. She directed a small crew throughout the whole weekend and, although many difficulties arose, they stuck together, overcame them and were successful as they beat the challenge.

After University, Rosie worked on BBC See Hear, a long-running magazine TV programme for the Deaf and Hard of Hearing, for over a year as a Researcher and TV presenter whilst working on small projects at the same time. Now Rosie is freelancing and is working on various projects. She is enthusiastic and excited to see what projects and challenges await her in the future."
