🧵Deaf President Now

“DiMarco explained the thought process that went into telling the story in a way that would alter the experience for “hearing” audiences and revealed how they played with the concept of “visual noise” to force hearing audiences into a Deaf perspective.

“…once we got to shooting, we started having more ideas in the edit of how to capture a specific moment.”

“… this movie is even bigger than the story of Deaf culture. It’s about how collective action works and how leadership is born in a week, and how it’s possible to do something good for the world. I do believe protests can be successful, and we need them right now. If people saw this movie, they would see how it can be done successfully." — Co-Director Davis Guggenehim

Matt Zoller Seitz, RogerEbert.com, 16 May 2025

“‘…as smartly conceived and constructed as it is thrilling to watch, and as passionate as it is informative. More significantly, it’s a stealthy formal triumph that refines existing cinematic language and adds brand new words and phrases to the vocabulary, as it were, because that’s what was needed to do justice to its subject matter.”

Magnificent
