The Shattered Mind is now brought to Life!

DEAF TALENT

I am an award-wining Deaf filmmaker living in Manhattan, NY producing THE SHATTERED MIND, which is inspired by a true event.  I love making stuff up and turning them into reality. I consider myself to be an imaginative storyteller. You see, the film I want you to support is part true, part fiction. When I was a little girl, I suffered from a concussion and as result of it, I became deaf. So, I thought, why not take some of that experience and mix it up and turn it into a movie. After all, that's what makes a great screenwriter, right?

Anyway, now that my creative team and I have brought my creative passion, THE SHATTERED MIND to life, we are pleased to announce that we have completed all production on July 20. Unfortunately, we are unable to move forward with postproduction because we've exhausted all funding ($18,500) we have raised through private donors and Gofundme. We need your help to raise at least $14,500 more by August 24th so we can complete THE SHATTERED MIND in time to submit the film to Sundance Film Festival by August 26. We will let our campaign run for 60 days, which expires on September 24th at 11:59PM. However, we do need to raise the exact $14,500 by August 24th. Please remember our Sundance Film Festival Submission Deadline: AUGUST 26.

The Co-option of Deaf Talent® Movement (2012)© 

The  Deaf Talent ®  Movement, founded by the first Black Deaf Filmmaker/Activist,  Jade Bryan  in 2012, is a social and cultural icon centralized on  spreading awareness  about the lack of representation of BIPOC (Black, Indigenous, and People of Color) in television and film. However, Black Deaf actors, writers, producers, and Black Deaf stories are the most overlooked in getting recognition in film and television. This movement began on multiple online and real-life platforms, starting with social media. Jade Bryan created a social media platform by using Twitter and Facebook to spread awareness of the need for better representation in television and film before moving her movement to the streets. (See press release from 2012) A close-knit of Black and POC Deaf Activists from the Deaf community and actors cast in Jade Bryan’s film, The Shattered Mind , (formerly known as The Double Life of Zhane Rain ), met up and campaigned in the streets. The movement ...

DEAF TALENT®

DEAF TALENT® © Copyright Thank you for dropping by to support a social issue and fundraising cause so we can produce our movie, "The Double Life of Zhane Rain."  (The title has now   changed to "The Shattered Mind.") Our goal is to spread and spreading awareness that we need more Deaf Talent ® (of Color) in the mainstream movie industry and in   television. That's why as a writer, I am producing a movie by us and about us because nobody is going to do it for us. We want to attract media attention and let the   world know what we are trying to do. We're very tired of being overlooked and not having our voices heard.    (See  press release  from 2012) We're planning a Deaf Talent® Movement for change in film and TV by using hashtags support  #DEAFTALENT®, #POCDEAFTALENT, #DEAFBLACKFILM, #DEAFERSITY, or #DEAFTALENTSOFCOLOR  to spread   awareness and representation about our film, The Double Life of Zhane Rain, written by first...

CES in LAS VEGAS 2012

Open the Gates – With more than 31 football fields of show space, CES attendees have to crowd in opening day and walk themselves ragged in hopes of not just seeing all the show but seeing what will win/fail big in the coming year. While a few folks have said CES is on its last leg, we wonder if they were at the same show we were this month.   More than 3,100 exhibitors squeezed into a mere 1.861 million net square feet (31+ football fields) of exhibit space and the show drew more than 153,000 attendees. Below is another video clip in lower quality shot from an iPad,  more appropriate and accessible to the sign language consumers.  CES UNVEILED FOR THE PRESS! Media and analysts line up to enter CES Unveiled, the Official Press Event of the International CES, for pre-show look at new products. Luckily, I didn't have to stand in line! My interpreters were already inside, waiting for me. Delish reception!  Food/beer first! Interview later!...
