About this episode

Brian Ceci discusses his film 'Heard' and his experiences as a Hard of Hearing individual.

Brian Ceci is a filmmaker and cinematographer who has worked on productions in over 30 countries across six continents. Brian's feature film debut as a director, 'Heard,' chronicles his experience being Hard of Hearing as he talks to other Hard of Hearing (HoH) creatives across BC who use their hearing loss to further their practice as artists and creatives. Today's conversation delves into Brian's inspiration for Heard and how making this film helped him continue exploring his own place on the Hard of Hearing Spectrum. We also spoke about the Deaf community, deaf gains, deaf joy, and how riding motorcycles gives Brian a sense of normalcy in a world that can feel socially isolating.
