My company Welcome Change Productions had the pleasure of producing this sweet public service announcement in American Sign Language for Mill Neck Services. Give it a watch! (Link in retweet)

[National Council on Aging @NCOAging]

If you haven’t gotten your flu shot yet, it’s not too late! This video, targeted to #AmericanSignLanguage users, but accessible to all, features actors cast by a NCOA #VaccinationUptakeInitiative grantee.

🙏 Thanks @millneckschool for doing your part!

-there are often more language options for captions, and sometimes even audio description.

Ok, I also have selfish reasons for loving DVDs, because my films are on them. Allow me a shameless plug 😄 bc there's such a good sale thru 5/31 @newdayfilms https://t.co/92RQgNmvyh. 3/3

[Alice Elliott @ElliottFilm]

Unpopular opinion - I still buy, use, and love DVDs. Here's why.
-No pw. One less thing to remember.
-no subscription. You pay for it once, then it's yours. (& you're not subject to the whims & needs of a streaming service, which could remove that title, or even censor it.) 1/3

[Alice Elliott @ElliottFilm]

-Sure, most younger people don't have DVD players. But a lot of them have Playstations, which can, guess what, play DVDs!
-For film people - screeners are often on DVDs.
-call me a dork, but I love the special features! 2/3

@Realtalkies @NoraPoggi @mablechantv @pamsporn @TamiGoldDOCS @nawaazonthenet @sanjnaselva @preranatd @ProfTulaGo @bayrootee @lksriv @deerauniyar @25Texans I live with a cancer survivor and have seen the film. It's very meaningful, and really shows appreciation for survivors and their caretakers.

Who else caught #DarkDisabledStories? It was so brilliant. And I loved how access was built into the design and world of the show.

May this production inspire many more to incorporate accessibility into the production design and script!
