Futures

Futures is a short film directed by young deaf people from VN Naik and Fulton Schools for the Deaf, which representes the culmination of a 4 day filmmaking workshop. The group who made Futures discussed various issues that concerned their prospects, mainly in terms of hopes and fears. Two of these made the film, the fear of job interviews – a massive obstacle for deaf candidates, who often aren’t provided with an interpreter or are rejected upfront – and their hopes for family-related issues – mainly accommodations and relationships.
