This is why we support the #DeafTalent movement and this is why we are working to create a #DeafTalent PSA where Deaf talent in front of and behind a the camera can show the world their skills. Our project will showcase popular Deaf professionals in entertainmnet fields such as: acting, directing, modeling, writing, dancing etc. connecting them and thier work with the public. Now we need your help! Donate to help the project: HERE.



In order to make a high quality product that does justice to the talent of it's 100% Deaf cast and crew we need to fundraise money to rent filming equipment, studios space, food for the cast and crew, flying out some of the name talent signed onto the project, and marketing to make sure this project gets in front of the people who make decisions in the industry.



So, please donate whatever you can to help us achieve our goal! If you can't donate funds but have another way of helping us spread the world about Deaf talent whether it be through food donations, connections to publicity for the project, or simply by sharing this campaign every little bit helps!

Stoke City Star Helps GB Deaf Team To World Cup

VIDEO - Deaf News: Stoke goalkeeper Jack Butland helped send the Great Britain women's Deaf team to the World Cup.





STOKE, UK -- Stoke City star Jack Butland has generously donated £5,000 to Great Britain's women's Deaf football team, as he showed why he's one of the Premier League's nice guys.



An online appeal aiming to raise £10,000 - half the amount the British team need to attend June's Deaf World Cup in Italy - has now reached its target thanks to Butland's donation.





On Thursday morning GB Deaf Football tweeted: 'Wow! Thank you so much @JackButland-One for the £5000 donation. We are in shock! Just £1890 to go.'





Butland, 22, responded: 'I've learnt a lot from major tournaments, experiences I'll never forget, I'd love for you to experience the same!'



Further support for the appeal has come from England internationals Fran Kirby, Jade Moore, Jo Potter and Lucy Bronze, along with Wales midfielder Jess Fishlock.



Butland, who has three England caps, also works as an ambassador for the Kick It Out anti-discrimination campaign.



The 22-year-old has been in sensational form for Stoke City F.C. this season, earning many plaudits and international recognition.



Some are tipping Butland to push Joe Hart for England's No 1 spot ahead of Euro 2016 in France. Source
