THE FEELING THROUGH EXPERIENCE IS A 90 MINUTE, 3-PART SCREENING EVENT


PART 1:
Feeling Through - (18 minutes)

A coming of age film about the unlikely connection between a teen in need and a DeafBlind man. It is the first film ever to feature a DeafBlind actor in a lead role.


PART 2:
Connecting the Dots - (24 minutes)

A documentary following the journey of making Feeling Through and the search for the DeafBlind man who inspired it.

PART 3:
Engaging the Community - (45 minutes)

An integral part of The Feeling Through Experience is bringing the DeafBlind community and other communities together in one space to discuss the films’ various themes as well as topics related to the DeafBlind community. This portion of the event includes a panel discussion and Q&A with:

·       Creator - Doug Roland

·       DeafBlind Actor - Robert Tarango

·       Members of the local DeafBlind community


As a public servant, I believe we’re all called to be open, to raise awareness, and to leave things better than we found them.  The Feeling Through Experience did something quite rare – it accomplished all three goals.
