  1. Oscar winner Marlee Matlin is 60 today — and Shoshannah Stern's documentary on her life is as inspiring and entertaining as its subject.

    It's a profoundly empathetic use of the format, and well worth a VOD rental.

  2. A new documentary, "Marlee Matlin: Not Alone Anymore" traces the career of the Oscar-winning actor, activist and author. Director Shoshannah Stern knew it was important for hearing audiences to understand how Matlin experiences the world — both Stern and Matlin are Deaf. @IndieWire talked to her and sound designer Bonnie Wild about how they achieved that. “Noise and sound are two different things. Sound is the process where there’s understanding of meaning, [while with] noise, there’s no meaning embedded in that. So when I use hearing aids, and Marlee uses hearing aids as well, I hear most things, right? But if I were to compare if it’s sound or noise, they become jumbled,” Stern explains. “People think that [hearing aids] fix the hearing loss, but it doesn’t fix the way the brain receives that information. So the brain still can’t quite process some of the sound that it’s receiving.”

  3. Ok, although it's very unrealistic, episode two of #Accused, a #Fox #tv #series on #Hulu, hit me, emotionally, and has me still in tears as I type this.

    The directorial debut of #MarleeMatlin, this episode clearly explains to #hearing people like me what #deaf and #HardOfHearing people most need and want from life.

    It's simple, really. No different in any way from what is the most universal of human desires: To be accepted as they are, and to be allowed to determine their own fate.
