On Nov 5, 2025, the Deaf Santa Claus documentary screened to audiences as part of the foundation’s national tour.
About the event
Join us for a red carpet evening at the historic Brauntex Theater on Wednesday, November 5th at 6:30 PM, celebrating the feature documentary Deaf Santa Claus.
With an uncanny resemblance to the icon himself, Charles Graves chases his dream of becoming a professional Deaf Santa Claus. Filmmakers chronicle Charles and his family as he attends Santa school and enlists the support of others in an attempt to better provide for his loved ones.
Directed by Ben Shelton and Anthony Mowl, the film offers unique perspectives on navigating Deaf and hearing worlds in a story about family, fatherhood, and creating new traditions.
This premiere event will feature Charles and Kari Graves, Kalei Graves, and members of the production team in attendance. Audiences are invited to walk the red carpet, enjoy the screening, and take part in a community celebration of representation and storytelling.
VIP tickets include access to a private post-show meet and greet with Charles and Kari Graves.
