NEW DAY FILMS BY
Tom Baldridge:

So Long Silence

Filmmaker Tom Baldridge is a CODA, a "child of deaf adults." He has communicated in sign language since infancy and is from a family of deaf educators, which explains the personal perspective he brings to the making of So Long Silence. So Long Silence is not his only "deaf" film; he also directed Tobey's Tale, an all-sign language children's fantasy with an all deaf cast. Other film credits include The Clean Club, another children's film that is partly-animated with talking clocks and hopping socks.

Tom earned an MFA in cinema production at the University of Southern California, a J.D. and M.B.A. at the University of California, Berkeley, and a bachelor's degree at Harvard University. He is an associate professor of business administration at Gallaudet University in Washington, DC, the world's only liberal arts college founded exclusively for deaf people. This year he is on sabbatical leave in San Francisco to make a sequel to SO LONG SILENCE.
