WT Clients: Apple Films Picks Up Concordia Studio’s Feature Doc ‘Deaf President Now!’, Produced by Jonathan King
Published: December 13, 2024
Apple Films picked up the feature documentary, Deaf President Now!, from Weintraub client Concordia Studio. The film was co-directed by Deaf actor, filmmaker, and advocate Nyle DiMarco and Oscar-winning documentarian Davis Guggenheim, and produced by Weintraub client Jonathan King alongside Michael Harte and Amanda Rohlke.
The film tells the story of the 1988 protests at Gallaudet University, the storied university for Deaf or hard-of-hearing students, that led to the installment of the school’s first Deaf president. It uses visual photography and intricate sound design meant to thrust the audience into the Deaf experience.
Concordia Studio and Jonathan King are represented by Weintraub attorneys Tara Sattler and Alan Grodin.
