More information

Film still from Alison O’Daniel’s (2109 Grantee) Creative Capital Project The Tuba Thieves, premieres at the Sundance Film Festival, January 22-30, 2023.

Alison O’Daniel’s (2019 Awardee) The Tuba Thieves is finally making its way to a theater near you! What is the role of sound and what does it mean to listen? Hard of hearing filmmaker O’Daniel uses a series of tuba thefts in Los Angeles high schools as a jumping-off point to explore these questions. Through several d/Deaf people telling stories in a unique game of telephone, the central mystery of The Tuba Thieves isn’t about theft of instruments; it’s about the nature of sound itself.

For those who can’t make it to live screenings, the US broadcast premiere will take place on PBS Independent Lens on May 20, 2024!
