PHOENIX FILM FESTIVAL FEATURING ON-SCREEN CAPTIONING SHOWINGS

 

PHOENIX (March 18, 2022) – This year the Phoenix Film Festival has scheduled five On-Screen Captioned films as part of their commitment to make film programs available to all audiences. Presenting movies with captions on-screen makes movies more accessible to people who are deaf, hard of hearing, have difficulty understanding spoken language, or simply prefer to watch movies with captions on.

In addition, an ASL interpreter will be present at each screening, for film introductions and post-screening Q&A sessions.

I'm the Sr. Film Writer and Community Manager for tmc.io. I write, direct and produce short films with my production company, Good Stew Productions. Though it's difficult to answer this question when asked, I'd say my favorite movie is “The Big Chill.” I enjoy photography, poetry, and hiking and I adore animals, especially elephants. I live in Arizona and feel it's an outstanding and inspirational place to live.

What's your take?

Free movie screenings and more.
