-- Golden Globe winner supports captions and subtitles
Bong Joon-ho, not deaf, just won a Golden Globe for his
"Paradise" movie. Taking advantage of attention by the
audience he explained his support for captions
and subtitle, saying it is not just for the deaf -
but also for the hearing. Open subtitles, however,
is different from Open captions.
-- ADA court-case loser agrees to do this, to do that
Cutter Mazda, based in Hawaii, lost ADA case because of
refusal to hire a deaf applicant. As part of the deal,
they will:
#1 - provide full ADA training to all employees
#2 - train their human resources department on how to
deal with deaf applicants
#3 - train everyone on what Deaf Culture is all about
Bottom line - will they do a good job or a bad job?
People learn and they will, eventually, forget!
-- full-length deaf movie could be costly
There are many deaf film-makers; they do short films
and short indie films. They may have wished to do a
full-length deaf movie - but it is too costly.
A deaf movie production group wants to do a deaf movie;
the cost for doing so would be nearly five million
dollars.
