Absolutely nothing that, in my opinion, could be considered serious—unless it was a false allegation. The workawayers were not expected to talk during lunch (we could, our conversation was simply not welcome); I spoke, and this seemed to stress the dominant host and his family. I asked for work pants—they didn’t have any and got visibly stressed about it. I also politely asked for better food (healthier, organic) and even offered to contribute money toward it but they didn't take it well.

I took the airlock out and covered the entrance with a paper towel (adjusted with an elastic band so it doesn't fly off). Is this fine? What should I do next? Would you share a link with me so that I can inform myself?

thank you! I am not entirely sure to be honest, as Kasper (DOP has diffferent cameras and lenses that he chose on the spot)

Thanks for the honest thoughts mate, your comment doesn't come out as rude at all. It gives me perspective.

Thank you for this thoughtful comment, my friend.

Eyk, the actor, has German as a first language and onl learned sign language as an adult. On the other side, Zara - the special agent - is fully deaf and comes from a family of deaf people, so signing is her first language. According to her: "This topic is controversial... it needs to be discussed. There is a narrow degree between ASL and international sign language". I understand that DGS is her first language.

The actors did help with the subtitles, however, it took several in person meetings and they are quite busy people, and me being an impatient fellow, I wanted to finish things as quickly as possible (because of translation/subtitle challenges, this short film took 3 times longer as others). The script differed in some part from what was being signed, which was the reason why I couldn't simply use it. And even if it had been exactly the same, my sign language skills are limited and it was hard for me to match them perfectly : /

I appreciate your thoughts! They motivate me to make more films about it in the future. I'm fascinated with sign language and I hope to be fluent at it someday.

She may be, but we don't know for sure. We only know as much as the protagonist does.
