Hotels, Videophones and the ADA
CHAT WITH BRYEN I was on another business trip for a couple of days last week and couldn't help but feel a longing for my videophone.  Yes, I guess like the rest of us, I've become somewhat dependent on it.  And I wondered about those of us who take frequent business trips.  How do we deal with this [...]

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...

Critics obviously do...

Since I was 2 years old, wearing hearing aids made me be able to grow u...
