      Tutors wanted during filming

      By zoltan_adorjan · Posted

      Hello, 

      My name is Zoltan and I am one half of a producer duo working on a new short film with BSL talent attached. As one of our actors is of school-age we would love to find a tutor who would be willing to come on a 5 to 6-day shoot, freelance, later this year or mid-February next year. If you know of anyone or if you are a teacher/tutor yourself we'd love to hear from you. 

      Of course, this is a paid role.  

      The shoot will take place in Ireland and therefore we are happy to consider applicants from across the UK and Ireland. 

      If you have any questions please feel free to reach out. 

      Many thanks again and thank you for accepting me on your forum. 

      Have a lovely rest of your day! 

      Zoltan

      "MUST NOT" Meaning in BSL

      By LAH · Posted

      That's awesome, thank you! So then, if you signed MUST while shaking your head and using negative expression, would that mean "not allowed to" or "don't have to"? Thanks! Lucy

      Tell me more about Bsl!

      By Marla Barrett · Posted

      Hello all,  My name is Marla and I am an international student in Bangkok. I started learning Bsl as it allows me to volunteer for more service opportunities. I also have started learning Bsl for a school project. I am very intrigued of the Bsl world and would like to learn as much as I can! Please write below your favorite word in Bsl and why. I think mine is Australia as I think it’s a funny sign.
