He is in the process of exiting his apartment building with his dog to go for a walk. He sees his neighbor entering the building at the same time. Steps aside to hold the door open for her, and
then is surprised to see that she greets him in ASL with “Hello. Good afternoon.” He hadn’t known that she had learned that just so she could communicate with him, as they are neighbors

A commercial is looking for a fluent ASL user to play the scene detailed above. Auditions are self-taped and due ASAP, film days are coming up! Please submit your tape to Yvonne or reach out to her for more information:
