Comedy
is an unusual pursuit for someone who is hearing impaired.
Stepen O'Keefe
must work as hard on his pronunciation as he does
on his jokes.
Immersing
viewers in the heard of Stephen's demanding life, the documentary follows along
as he spends time with his young son, runs a business with his wife, prepares
to move into a new home, and nurtures his blossoming comedy career. This is a
humour filled profile-from life in between comedy acts to the realities of being
caught between a hearing world and a silent one.
Written and Directed
by Barbara K Lee, Between the Laughter,
was a winner of 2004

National
