- A hairdresser's hard-of-hearing hearing aids begin to malfunction...
In the making of this film, most of the cast were Deaf or hard of hearing, making the crew uniquely communicative and adaptable. Interpreters joined us in a hybrid environment to bring the production to life authentically. The unique composition uses real hearing devices and natural feedback sculpted by the magic of Scott Johnson and Andrew Scott Bell. It seems hearing aids proved to make the most authentic spooky audio.

Chrissy, this is amazing. This could be a Black Mirror episode. I remember when you shot this. I can't wait to see what you do next. So talented.
Thank you so much for watching! 🤟💜
thats exactly what I was thinking!!
i want a part two! that was awesome!
as a nurse, the hospital scene got me. the rote instructions she was giving without even looking up. his frustration and fear were palpable.
how does this only have 602 upvotes?
I wish this was a series, not a short film! So good! So mysterious, unique plot. Love that it was mostly HOH and deaf cast, it gave it a more intimate feel. And the husband could obviously understand what deaf is being like, the friends of him too.
Nooo it ended on a cliffhanger!! You must make moreeeee
My first thought was someone is messing with her hearing aids. And I am freaking out.
Among the tons of short pictures I have seen over the years, this one is at the top with the best. I will definitely not forget the name Chrissy Marshall
the first short horror film that's truly shaken me in years... true biz you have talent!
I'm not deaf but I actually became self aware of my own tinnitus right before they started talking about it in the car scene. That was creepy 😅 I had to pause the video to make sure it wasn't the video I was hearing
god the cinematography is just beautiful. the scene in the bathroom is so stunning. fantastic job Chrissy!!
WOW. I want to see more. WOW!😮
This literally gave me chills. Excellent work!
Wow, thank you for watching! 💜
wow i havent had a short film make my skin crawl this much in a long time!
Thanks. Nice work. Rain in My Head is my favorite short of 2023. Looking forward to your feature debut.
That would freak me out. I want to see the complete movie.
This was really good 👍. It is definitely a scary story that I’m sure a lot of people can relate to as well. Every actor/ actress in it deserves praise, they did a fantastic job.
You are sooo talented!! I literally had chills the entire time!! It's also really neat how you were able to show the struggle of wearing hearing aids/cochlears in such a busy/noisy world and how they don't always actually help you hear 100% clearly. This incredible short film kept reminding me of quite a few of my friends who are both hearing aid users and they talk about the same struggle! Also, i have Auditory Processing Disorder (APD), and slight hard of hearing so I totally get it the frustration aspect! Thank you for bringing all of this to light in such a creative and pretty creepy/spooky way lol !! :)
Every now and then, late in the evening, it would seem my tinnitus would do something really strange, but it turned out, it was my watch alarm, so I reset it. Also, once a year and a half ago, someone on a bike tried to redirect me, also on a bike, my understanding of the situation luckily overrode his attempts to seclude me, as I was in danger from him. The common thread is always their attempt to seclude. Once on campus someone stood in my path and tried to convince/confuse/derail/seclude me, his eyes were on the foot traffic around me, and he was much larger than me. At the perfect moment, classes got out, and the pathways were flooded with at least a thousand people, still my thinking and moving were not connected, someone walked between me and him and I pushed my bike forward and got out of there, by-a-hair, my bike on the verge of derailing. Things I learned, keep-up your bike, always go fast, or walk with others you know. Maybe speak into your coat say loudly "Hot-dog, Hot-dog, Move-in, Move-in, Move-in", as if it were a scene in a movie when all bystanders turn out to be supporting agents, that's how I felt.
What?
Very nicely done. I love the way this was shot, utilizing such techniques and aesthetics as eerie camera angles, muted colors, and pacing that is altogether uncomfortable while also effectively transitioning from one story point to another. Interesting that you left the film open-ended -- it could have gone anywhere from that moment, but sometimes it's fun to leave things up to the audience's imagination. The use of sound effects and music was great, as well; it really adds to the creepiness, and I liked that you guys used actual hearing devices and whatnot to ensure that authenticity. Never expected to see something like this on your channel, but, as an appreciator of cinema, I'm pleasantly surprised and impressed!
omg that was amazing !! chills you’re amazing i hope you continue to make more films this was amazing had me on the edge of my seat the whole time. ahh 🤟🏽🤟🏽
I LOVE this! I am looking forward to more unique short films especially with ASL as the main language!
This was amazing! I actually got chills at the end. Well done!
Waow. Im so glad I waited for a good moment down to see this. I was hooked. Really well written and shot. And I love the main actress. I wish for you it gets shown in all festivals! Congrats
This short movie is so good. You do this really well. Great creativity. ❤
This is SO GOOD!! I had chills nearly the entire time!
this was a great watch!!! definitely a terrifying thought and this was beautifully shot!!! im also a deaf filmmaker (in school) so this was really cool to watch!!!
I'm very sorry. I don't understand this one. Is this the complete film?

Omg that was so creepy x_X I regret watching this at night tbh... I'm gonna go listen to music or something happy😂😂
Wow. This was excellent. More please.

So good! Very eerie/creepy
Great movie, you do great work
Beautiful work
Great short!!!!!! The lady wasn’t crazy in my opinion! I’d pay to see how it all ends. Keep up the captivating work! Ya definitely earned my support!!
Thank you so much for watching! ❤️🔥
omggg that was so creepy!! awesome job!
Wow, i don't watch scary movies, but this pulled me in! I'm going to watch again with my hubby whose ASL is way better than mine. Thanks for sharing!!
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 this gonna be good
This is incredibly good! Well paced, acted, directed, shot... everything! And excellently creepy! Great job! :D
Also, while I'm here, thank you for your videos and advocacy. I've a unilateral loss since very early childhood (maybe since birth, but they didn't really check back then). I'm trying to understand and embrace the HoH part of me and what that means, especially as age brings more hearing issues. I truly appreciate the perspective and joy you bring here!
Thank you so much for watching and your comment means the world to me! 💜🤟
@@ChrissyMarshall_ thank you for all you do here! 💜🤟
You killed it great work 🎉
I dont normally watch horror movies but i can make an exception for this one 😅
Very cool! Congratulations 👍
Keep up the good work!!
chrissy holy shit this is a masterpiece
Please tell me this is a trailer!!! Im hooked 👌🏽🙌🏽
Wait I’m confused.. what happened
I’m a little confused as well. Did she get hit by a car? Then the guy showed up to get a haircut? Was that the guy that hit her with the car? Lol
I am full hearing and I think I am story illiterate lol. What's the voice in her ear supposed to represent? Why'd she keep dying/ getting hurt via her hearing aids?
This is phenomenal, gave me chills watching this.
We are better off not wanting anything
I wish there was more, because I feel like this wasn’t enough to be a complete story. Cool idea, but too short and choppy. I didn’t really know what was going on for most of it.
... where's the fully featured movie? ;)
Well made by horrifying
Barbie has an ASL version now.
Wow
Spooky
😮
While being deaf is probably the least dehibilating sensory defect for humans but its still something i wouldnt wish on anyone. Imagine not being able to experience the magic of music 😢
Never knew that deaf people can get tinnitus hmmm
😬
I know it's fiction, but...
She need to quit job for few days and stop using hearing aids. They could spend this time with Nick. And then it would be more clear if hearing aids do it or not.
this isnt really good as a short film. needs to be full length film
