"LOUD Love" is a tender probe into gay deaf parenting, growth and its occasional hurdles.
Story
Following a seven-year long surrogacy process, gay deaf couple Alan and Brian finally brought their hearing twin babies home from India to New York. However, their journey through fatherhood meets new challenges when the increasingly rambunctious kids start screaming "you don't understand me" at them. "LOUD Love" is their story, a documentary about parenting, growth and its occasional hurdles.

I hope “Loud Love” can demystify how deaf people live their lives—they are far from silent but very loudly buzz, pop and roar, and the fundamental basis of communication is not sound, but connection. I also wish to challenge the very limiting norms of parenting so that the society as a whole can recognize many types of personhood and parenthood.
