LIS and Deaf culture consultancy for film, TV and theatre.
Deaf language and culture consultants support scripts, characters and sets, so that stories about Deaf people are credible and respectful.
Linguistic and cultural expertise, taken seriously.
The Deaf language and culture consultant (often called a deaf consultant) works on language, gestures, community customs and everyday situations. They prevent mistakes that a Deaf audience recognises immediately.
This is not a final check: consultancy works best when it starts early, already at script stage.
