Project Description:
BC Early Hearing Program is in the process of making a short video (12-15 minutes) for parents of babies newly identified as being Deaf or Hard of Hearing. This video is being developed in consultation with the BCEHP Deaf/Hard of Hearing Mentor Working Group. This group includes Deaf and Hard of Hearing individuals as well as parent representatives from three parent organizations (FNDC, CHHA-BC, Hands and Voices-BC). This short video will provide families the opportunity to “meet” a range of teens and adults who are Deaf or Hard of Hearing. Some of these individuals use ASL and some use spoken language. The Learning and Development team at BC Children’s Hospital and BC Women’s Hospital and Health Centre will be working with the BC Early Hearing Program on this video project.
Consultation from Deaf film maker/videographer requested:
BC Early Hearing Program is seeking consultation from an experienced Deaf filmmaker or videographer. This consultation will focus on the technical aspects related to filming ASL. Time required will include an initial meeting with project team, and consultation during two shooting periods. This consultation will be required in late January-early February.
