Filming episodes of our video series

With great excitement, we’re thrilled to share that we’ve finished filming the last episodes of our video series for deaf children ages 2 to 8!

This second stage not only continues to explore topics that spark children's curiosity, but now also includes short segments in each episode that highlight meaningful aspects of Deaf culture.

It’s essential that deaf children and their families have early, natural contact with Deaf role models—people who can pass on the behaviors and cultural practices of the community from an authentic perspective.

That's why we’ve included everyday ways Deaf people get each other’s attention, like waving a hand in someone’s field of vision or flicking a light switch. We also clearly and playfully explain certain behaviors that should be avoided—like tapping children’s backs or turning their faces—practices that hearing people often use unknowingly.

Another beautiful topic we explore is Sign Names. In the Deaf community, everyone has a unique sign name, so there's no need to fingerspell a person’s name every time. It’s like a special kind of “baptism” within the community—a meaningful way of belonging.

Our central character, a young Deaf woman, leads the series. She interacts with children and invites families to dive into the sea of signs—a space full of movement and expression—to strengthen family communication and support the linguistic and cognitive growth of young deaf children.

This is just the beginning. We invite you to be part of this beautiful adventure—so we can keep creating more videos, more stories, and more bridges.
