Here’s SADC receiving thanks from master of ceremonies Nic Novicki at the award ceremony.
The SADC provided audio description for 15 of the 16 finalists for the Easterseals Disability Film Challenge, now in its 11th year. (The winner for Best Film, entitled Audio Description, had AD already supplied and central to its story.)
The films each showcase deafness or disability, and had to be scripted, shot and finished all within five days, all by volunteers, and this year all in the form of a buddy comedy.
Prizes are awarded in six categories. At the same time, winners also receive exposure and introductions to entertainment industry professionals and executives.
This was the first year in which finalist films were provided professional AD in advance of the winners being announced. Given the contest’s constraints, the description had to happen fast and under secrecy. SADC is proud to have been the EDFC’s choice.
Project Lead was Thomas Reid. Writers were Cheryl Green, Oliver Baker, and Kensuke Nakamura. Blind QC by Nefertiti Matos Olivares and Robert Kingett. Narrated by Thomas, Cheryl, Oliver, Nefertiti, and Barbara Faison.
