I posted a link to Ssstutter, a short film about stuttering made by director Bruce Oothout and producer Youssef El-Khoury while attending the Vancouver Film School. I interview them on today’s show. We chat about how they got into film making, the making of Ssstutter, and of course, their personal experiences with stuttering.

Music played on today’s show was McGill by Podington Bear.

    This documentary is making too much success among stuttering associations around the world. Do you know it was even subtitled in Portuguese? Look links below. Congratulations to idealizers.

    Sorry I made a mistake while leaving my comment. The comment I left on the Ssstutter link page was meant for here. My apologies.

    I find it interesting that Youssef has a history of taking leadership roles since the only stutterer I knew growing up was also student body president. Bruce, I know, has a well-developed ego and a natural tendency to gain a following. And Hannah, in the film, found freedom in expressing herself creatively onstage. Daniel hosts a podcast on stuttering. Is it mere coincidence that all these stutterers end up influencing a wider audience? Perhaps a subject for the hour-long documentary you didn’t get to make. . .
