00:00Representation Matters, this is what some members of the deaf community said about the 50th Metro Manila Film Fest Best Picture, Green Bones, after watching the block screening. Here's my take on it.
00:15The 50th Metro Manila Film Festival Best Picture, Green Bones, was a block screening for some individuals who are having a hard time hearing.
00:27The audience was excited, not only for the story, but also for the representation of the deaf community in the award-winning film of GMA Pictures and GMA Public Affairs.
00:40Shena Stevens was born in Green Bones as a child who had a hard time hearing.
00:45Shena's ancient birth gave her her first award, Best Child Performer at the MMFF in Parangal.
00:57One of the audience members who had a hard time hearing was Camille, who was given a cochlear implant.
01:05She was thankful and the production team was able to think of people who have a hard time hearing.
01:11Subtitles were a big help for the audience to understand the story.
01:20Without the subtitles I don't think I would be able to understand the movie.
01:25Because of the subtitles, the expressions of the people, I'm able to understand it fully.
01:32Hearing alone is really hard.
01:36Maria appreciated a deaf individual whose representation of the deaf community is clear and inspiring.
01:45Especially with the birth of MMFF 2024 Best Actor Dennis Trillo.
01:50He was able to see himself in the movie.
01:52That's why his feelings became more mature.
01:56Hearing the scene and all, it's really touching.
02:01Because we were there as a deaf representative.
02:06And then we saw how he signed, and we're really proud of him.
02:13And also the uncle, Dom.
02:16His facial expression and signing was beautiful.
02:19It's amazing.
