A short documentary about Sai and Alex Fink’s development of a language that is spoken entirely through clasped hands.
I met Sai and Alex at a Thanksgiving dinner, when they told me about this project, I was blown away. I think it is one of the most creative and romantic projects ever undertaken. I was sure I wanted to document and share their project with others.
The music is “Cluster – Zum Wohl”
I’ve always planned to re-edit, and to film more. However, geography, file management, and other creative pursuits made that unrealistic. Here is the final edit.

Alex & Sai’s most recent conlanging project is UNLWS — a
two-dimensional written-only language (http://saizai.com/nlws).
