Allow me to introduce myself.
My name is Pete. I found this site while doing some preliminary internet research for an independent feature film I'm developing. My main characters are a deaf woman and her long time interpreter and, though I had some contact with the deaf world in college (I went to RIT in the early 90s and worked with many deaf students in the Art School's computer labs), I didn't think I was even nearly familiar enough with the Deaf community and experience to be able to write about it concinvingly.
I expect I'll mostly be reading and seeing what's on the minds of the Deaf community, but I'm more than happy to hear what people think I should know in order to write about these characters, so feel free to send me a message.
Oh - and I am hearing (though, after many years as a musician hanging around in rock clubs, not nearly as well as I once did).
