Deaf Cinematic FilmBlog Click To Play I support 100 percent the idea that Deaf roles should go to Deaf actors, but when it comes to an autobiographical movie, I feel strongly that we must respect this person's casting preference for the actor who will be portraying him or her. Autobiographical movies are very personal in nature, and they involve a person revealing his or her in...

It is about the long history not Matt Hamill
Sojourner Based on Aidan’s vlog, [link] I agree with her. It is based on Matt’s personal decision because it is going to be about his autobiography which includes raw openness and honesty about his life/experiences. I personally believe that some of us who felt it was a wrong decision to have a Hearing person act as a Deaf role, were more focused on the bigger picture, the lo...

In Support of Matt...
At The Rim MATT In London...Is this the ugly face of Deaf Culture ? Attacking and ostracizing other deaf people ? Who are the new 'leaders' of the choice and thought deaf police ? Brits read that instead of supporting an obviously Deaf and cultural person, they are attacking him for choosing a hearing friend to play him in a film instead of a deaf person. Critics obviously do...

Support Hamill? Yes and No
Random Thoughts and Musings Many, many people have weighed in with their opinion on the controversy surrounding Matt Hamill's decision to have Eben Kostbar play him in Kostbar's movie, Hamill. However, there is one element that has yet to be blogged about that I'd like to touch upon.Hamill is a member of the Deaf community and does not deserve to be vilified for this decision. It is for this rea...

Italy ROCKS! NHS 2008...Here I Come!!!
An American Mom in Tuscany: Jordan's Cochlear Oh, oh, where to begin! I think my head may just explode. First of all, my guardian angels of Cochlear Italia decided that they would let me, as a courtesy, be a part of their exhibition at NHS 2008, but they told me I was not allowed to talk...hmmm. They said I could promote RALLY CAPS in Italian and English and speak to the physicians present, but I could not talk. ...

Is Hamill Right or Wrong?
Mishka Zena When I first heard about a hearing actor being cast in a deaf leading role, my initial response was dismay.  Learning it was Hamill's decision left me astounded.   The more I ponder this, the more questions I have.   Does this mean Hamill sees himself as being more of a hearing person than a Deaf person because he grew [...]

Go, Matt Hamill. Go!
Der Sankt Speaks... Once again, a so-called “leader” of the Deaf community has spoken on “behalf” of the community about Mr. Matt Hamill. Remaining true to my words (and refusing to allow my peers who stood up be beaten down alone), I must speak up and say this: The Deaf community does not agree with the so-called “leaders.” [...]

21: Cheers to NTID/RIT and Gallaudet
The Countdown To The Resurrection Condescending. That is the word that first came to me when I think of Matt Hamill. Double cheers to Amy Cohen-Efron for alerting the communities about Matt Hamill picking a hearing actor to perform as Deaf person. The result is that it sends a ripple effect to Washington and Rochester where they subsequently cancelled [...]

Dances with Wolves is one of my favorite films. I love it, not only for it's breathtaking cinematography, but also because Kevin Costner made the film as authentic as [...]

Myron Uhlberg shared tales of his Deaf Heroes (his Parents)...
Deaf Characters in Adolescent Literature Myron Uhlberg has a self-deprecating nature that is both humbling and humorous. During his presentation, I laughed, got teary-eyed, and felt nostalgic as I watched the 75-year-old CODA discuss his life and the legacy of his parents, Sarah and Lou Uhlberg. It was an absolute honor to attend his presentation and to meet with him afterwards. Myron was born in 1933 to pa...
