After a week of rallies, boycotts and protests, the students of Gallaudet University triumphed as the hearing president resigned and beloved dean Dr. I. King Jordan became the university&#8217;s first Deaf president. The protests marked a pivotal moment in civil rights history, with an impact that extended well beyond the Gallaudet campus and paved the way for the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). &#8220;Deaf President Now!&#8221; features exclusive interviews with the five key figures of the movement, including the Gallaudet four &#8211; Jerry Covell, Bridgetta Bourne-Firl, Tim Rarus, and Greg Hlibok &#8211; alongside I. King Jordan, as well as archival and scripted elements. The film also incorporates an experimental narrative approach called Deaf Point of View, using impressionistic visual photography and intricate sound design to thrust the audience into the Deaf experience.<\/p>\n<p>Accessibility, cultural, and communication considerations were at the forefront of every stage of production. Deaf Lens producer Wayne Betts Jr. came on during production to help create the visual language DiMarco coined &#8220;Visual Noise,&#8221; and he worked closely with the directors to ensure everything from the acting to the way the camera moved was authentic to the Deaf experience. A priority for DiMarco was that the portrayal and interpretation of the predominant language of the film, American Sign Language (ASL), was done with the utmost care in every frame.<\/p><div id=\"morty-65956589\" class=\"morty-content_2\" style=\"margin-left: auto;margin-right: auto;text-align: center;\"><script async src=\"\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-4937602850188786\" crossorigin=\"anonymous\"><\/script><ins class=\"adsbygoogle\" style=\"display:block; text-align:center;\" data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-4937602850188786\" \ndata-ad-slot=\"5227734695\" \ndata-ad-layout=\"in-article\"\ndata-ad-format=\"fluid\" data-full-width-responsive=\"true\"><\/ins>\n<script> \n(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); \n<\/script>\n<\/div>\n<p>The team brought on consultants Jonaz McMillan and FWD-Doc&#8217;s Lindsey Dryden to ensure the Deaf lens was conveyed accurately, inclusive hires were made, and resources for accessibility and communication needs were planned for.
