The Team.
All You Hear Is Noise is being produced by a team that includes the film’s directors, the main subjects, and a group of advisors from the community of people with intellectual disabilities.
“Nothing about us without us” is a slogan that was made popular by disability rights activists to explain the importance of including people with disabilities in the decision-making process for policies that impact them.
We believe the slogan should be a rule for storytelling as well. The film is being produced with a diverse group of stakeholders from the community of people with intellectual disabilities.
A Message from Kate.
Kate Bove is an advocate for disability rights. She is an advocate and she has competed in two World Games and one U.S. Games. The directors’ met with her in the early stages of the film-making process to discuss the idea of making a documentary about the Special Olympics World Games. The one minute clip below is Kate sharing her thoughts about how a film could support the conversation around disability in our society today.
