UPDATED- ASL FILMS – Versa Effect

RespondBy Incognito | Oct.10, 2011 | Filed in: Activities,Headlines

Synopsis: From their childhood years to working at a Deaf school in Texas, Jackie and Seth have always love to…HATE each other!

What follows is a series of laugh-a-minute hijinks as Jackie and Seth struggle to get back to their bodies. Because of that, they have no choice but to work together in order to save themselves. With time running out, Jackie and Seth must find a way to get back in their bodies before they get stuck in the opposite sex of bodies forever! Versa Effect is the first comedy film directed by the venerable Mark Wood. Versa Effect is filmed in the vein of Freaky Friday that will be enjoyed by everyone of all ages! continue »
