The Deaf Talent Project - GoFundMe

VIDEO [CC] - GoFundMe - The Deaf Talent Project for the community.





We are a Deaf fimmaking team and there is nothing we are more passionate about than seeing the accurate representation of the Deaf on the media and equal access to jobs for all peoples with disabilities in the entertainment industry.



To activate this feature, press the "CC" button.


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! Donate to help the project: https://www.gofundme.com/deaftalent. We are so grateful for all of your love and support! Read More.

Cochlear Implants - Have We Cured Deafness ?

VIDEO [CC] - "Have We Cured Deafness?" Research being studied on the ASL and CI users at the University of Washington.





SEATTLE -- Like much of America, I was raised having minimal to no interactions with the Deaf community and I didn’t give it a second thought. That is, until I took two years of American Sign Language (ASL) in high school and a full year of ASL at the University of Washington. While completing these classes, I discovered that there is a very strong and rich sense of community within Deaf Culture.





Over the years, I have found myself troubled by how a group of people so large (approximately 1 in 20 people are Deaf or Hard of Hearing) could play such a minor role in America with stereotypes continuously dampening their career aspects. When the opportunity presented itself to create a video aimed to educate hearing people about the Deaf person’s inequality, I took it.



I created the “Have We Cured Deafness?” video as part of a class project within my Master’s program (Communication Leadership) at the University of Washington. I designed this three-minute video to both set the stage for and be the first of a series that will further break down stereotypes that plague the Deaf community.



I hope you not only take the time to watch “Have We Cured Deafness?” but that you also do the due diligence of looking into Deaf culture and how we can improve our systems to better include these amazing people. As stated in the video, I recommend StartASL.com to learn more about Deaf culture.
