DEAF SANTA CLAUSE
With an uncanny resemblance to the icon himself, Charles Graves chases his dream of becoming a professional Deaf Santa Claus. Filmmakers chronicle Charles and his family as he attends Santa school and enlists the support of others in an attempt to better provide for his loved ones. This documentary tracks Graves’s journey from small-town Texas into the corporate world of Big Santa, spreading hope and inspiration along the way.
Directed by Ben Shelton and Anthony Mowl, the film offers unique perspectives on navigating Deaf and hearing worlds in a story about family, fatherhood, and creating new traditions.
"This film isn't just a movie—it's a magical sleigh ride of emotions. You'll laugh, you'll cry, and you'll feel the heartwarming joy that only Deaf Santa Claus can bring. Deaf Santa Claus is truly a must-see! - Audience Member
