Filmmaking / Directing : Deaf and Hard of Hearing Actors by Ashleigh Haynes

Deaf and Hard of Hearing Actors

Hi Everyone!

I'm looking for tips, experiences, and resources for working with and casting deaf and hard of hearing actors in film projects. I recognize they require certain accommodations (namely interpreters), but I am wondering if there are any specific, lesser known challenges that might arise that, as a filmmaker and writer, I might need to know about before I start on a project involving a largely deaf cast.

Thanks!

Ashleigh

Hi Ashleigh. I'm deaf actor, director and producer. I have nearly two decades of experience working in theatre and have many connections to deaf talents in the film industry. I noticed you posted your request about five months ago but I'm hoping you're still seeking for help. I can be happy to assist you if you would like to set a direct conversation with me. Just let me know. Thanks for asking.
