You Return... (Out of Sorts Productions, United States, 2023) is a short film we are proud to present at the Focus on Ability International Short Film Festival. The work attends to themes around autism, cognitive processing disability and intellectual disability, and the ways group and performance settings shape experience for young adults. Its approach is thoughtful and tactile, inviting viewers to consider different modes of communication and participation without prescribing a single reading. This film fits the festival’s aim to showcase diverse abilities and creative practice, and will appeal to audiences interested in performance, community and the many ways people make themselves seen and heard.
What's up y'all! The name's Sammy J and I'm back on Broadway! That's right y'all, I have returned cause there ain't no place to go until you come on back again. Alright? It's great to be back on Broadway and I have returned. Thank you! Out of Sorts Players presents their modern day production of Hamlet, starring Samir Hamoud as Hamlet and Wanda Duck as his father. Father, why do you lie to me? I didn't lie to you, son. It's the truth. Your uncle murdered me. What? He poured poison in the garden plots and now I am a dead potato king. Oh, I'm so sorry to hear that. And your uncle has taken my crown and now he is king of all the garden. You must go and avenge my death. I will, father! Oh, it's my little nephew, Hamlet. Hi, it's your uncle Claudius here. Over, uncle. I challenge you to a showdown. To a showdown? Like a hoedown? Like a dance? No, a washroom. Now listen here, Hamlet. Just because your father died and I married your mother right away doesn't mean that I'm a bad guy. And you killed my father. Who said so? Yeah. Take him, boy! I'm outta here! You killed my father, Polonius! Why did you do that? I defeated my uncle. No, you stabbed through the curtain. You thought that your uncle was on the other side of the curtain, but it was actually my dad. He was snooping. He was listening to you. Look, I brought your dad back to life. You did? Yes. Where is he? Right here. Oh, hi, dad. Listen, dad, can I marry Hamlet? What do you mean, no? What do you mean, go jump in a lake? Well, I've had it. Goodbye! Alright, alright. I am Ophelia's brother. I challenge you to a sword fight. Are you ready? Ready. Take it, boy! Hamlet, you are slain. My sword had poison on it. I nicked you. And you nicked me. That means we're both gonna die. No, I'm alive! You're dying. No, I'm not dying. I'm alive! Samir, everybody dies at the end of Hamlet. Ah! Father, you returned. Yes. I returned. I defeated my uncle and her brother. And everybody died, didn't they? Yes. Because that's how tragedies end. And that's why you returned. Thank you, father. Yes. That's exactly what you do because there's no place to go until you come back again. So you returned. Like I return, alright. Like I return. And you returned. Returned! Hey, are you alright? You returned. Yes. That's exactly what you do. You return because there's no place to go until you come back again. You're right. You're right. Well, you returned. Yeah, that's right. This is exactly what you do. Because there's no place to go until you come back again. So you returned. Like I return. You returned. Like I have returned, alright. And now I'm back in Hundred Acre Wood. It's great to be back home. I have returned! Thank you. The end. Please subscribe to my channel and follow me on Twitter!
