Manage episode 407339548 series 3559503
In honor of Italian American Heritage Month we are releasing a bonus episode of our #LittleItalyofLAPodcast with the amazing, #AntoinetteAbbamonte , interviewed by our host, Deborah Zara Kobylt. Antoinette is a uniquely talented actress and advocate for deaf performers, and recently starred in the film, “Since August.“ Antoinette is joined by interpreter #JonWolfeNelson. “Since August” is a riveting drama about love, addiction, friendship, and grief. The character is deaf, as is Antoinette, who has become an advocate for artists with disabilities in Hollywood, encouraging production teams to consider deaf actors not only when a role is written for a deaf character, but in all circumstances. In our interview, Antoinette talks about her Italian upbringing and growing up deaf. She says, “being deaf is simply speaking a different language.” Please enjoy & don't forget to like our videos and subscribe to our channel. Invite your friends, too. Special thanks to our host, #DeborahZaraKobylt, also the host of #DeborahKobyltLIVE.
