We are so happy that over 4,000 people have watched His Girl Friday and are getting exposed to quality audio description and captioning.
Even more exciting is what we were able to accomplish this Thursday. The amazingly talented, creative, and busy actress and activist Marlee Matlin produced a pilot for a new series, My Deaf Family. To add accessibility for ALL, Marlee allowed us to add audio description to her pilot and host it on our YouTube channel. In one single day, we received the video, captioned it, audio described it, proofed it thoroughly, and posted a fully accessible version on our YouTube channel. How amazing is that!
We posted it here for all of our blog readers to enjoy. We also have some links under the video where you can learn more about Marlee Matlin and her activism. She is truly an inspiration for all of us. Thank you, Marlee, for letting us support and promote your project!
