It’s amazing how your idea can grow into something real, especially when you share it with the right people. That is exactly what happened with Shaping Tomorrow, a vodcast for deaf and hearing audiences alike, offering a window into the experiences and journeys of deaf professionals. Shaping Tomorrow highlights deaf talent and changemakers, showcasing their career journeys and accomplishments alongside their hearing peers in the same industries.
Today, I am thrilled to launch Hear Art's first pilot season! With four episodes, this season delves into the lives and careers of deaf professionals in architecture, makeup artistry, mountaineering, and acting. You can catch all the episodes on Hear Art’s YouTube channel.
One of the most inspiring parts of this project is that the crew was 90% deaf, led by talented deaf director Sam Arnold, who helped bring this vision to life. Sam’s direction proves that, when given the chance, deaf creatives can lead dynamic and powerful media projects.
