UNCONSCIOUS BIAS: BIPOC DEAF CREATORS REFRAMING THE NARRATIVE AT THE SCRIPT DEVELOPMENT TABLE & BEHIND THE CAMERA

Presented by Deaf Talent® Media & Entertainment Consulting

EVENT DETAILS

Join the conversation with Fanshen Cox and panelists, Jade Bryan, Maleni Chaitoo, Adrienne Gravish, Viola Rose Mohr, Erin Sanders-Sigmon, and Martha Anger how BIPOC Deaf Creators are changing the game in Hollywood.

For years, Hollywood has tended toward the unconscious bias of stereotyping BIPOC Deaf creators by assuming we do not exist — which has negatively influenced how writers tell stories about us. Our goal is to address why there are no BIPOC Deaf creators and writers developing stories in the writers' room. What will it take for Hollywood to hire BIPOC Deaf creators? What concrete actions can Hollywood take to bring culturally authentic BIPOC Deaf representation to the screen and behind the camera in 2022 and beyond?
