Check out our latest BTS interview from the amazing cast of INSPIRED! Full video on our channel: youtube.com/

Transcript: Opens with a behind-the-scenes (BTS) clip of the co-director of Inspired, holding a film slate. Text appears: “What was your favorite part of the Inspired experience?”

Megan, (the Waitress), is a white woman with brown hair; she talks while BTS clips play over the interview. Clips show the cinematographer signing “What’s up?” to the camera. Darian (director, writer, star of Inspired) on set signing “You’re my rock” as another co-director throws her head back laughing. Darian dancing in the hotel as the first co-director slates: “Take 5!”

[MEGAN]: Honestly, the best part I think was just like lunch times, or when it was getting late and everyone’s getting a little punchier, just like the interactions with the crew itself. That, to me, always makes the best part of a film is the stuff you don’t see, the things that are happening behind the scenes. So I think, yeah, just all of that really made for a great experience.

Darian, wearing a shirt that says “Disabled is not a dirty word.” BTS clips from set play as she sim-coms. A “Do Not Disturb” sign, the door opens to show the crew making silly faces. Close-up on the camera, the cinematographer filming the male lead. Darian in an auditorium, sticking out her tongue. A co-director signing to camera: “One more? Keep rolling?”

[DARIAN]: So, not one specific experience. It was... all something that I see myself cherishing for the rest of my life. And that is a really weird thing to be able to say in the moment. Usually you only say that after the fact. But I saw it when it was happening. I was like, Oh my God, this is it. Even if we don't go to Sundance, or even if… Just to have gotten to do this was what I always dreamt of.

Video fades, text appears: “Inspired – Cast Interview: The Experience.” Then, “Full interview on YouTube” before the video ends with our motion logo, an abstract eye and lashes that flutter and wink before disappearing.

Our team spends a good chunk of our time thinking about disability, representation, and accessibility.

Audio: “Architecture” (short ver.) by AudioCoffee on Freesound.

Description: Video featuring three characters from INSPIRED in random clips; Raina, Sebastian, and the Waitress. Raina is an olive-skinned woman with long brown hair tied in a bun and glasses, wearing all black. Sebastian is an attractive white man with brown hair, wearing a black T-shirt. The Waitress is a thin white woman with brown hair tied back, wearing a white collared shirt. Video begins by fading up on Raina and Sebastian sitting across from each other at a restaurant with the Waitress standing at their table between them. She looks over at Raina’s cochlear implant, then exclaims excitedly, “Oh, my god!” Raina reacts in surprise: “...Oh, my god!” Cut to a text screen on a dark blue background with soft floating circles of light: “Available on YouTube” in white text. Clip of Raina and Sebastian at the table as she says to him: “Tell me about this movie.” Cut to another text screen: “Inspired” in all capitals. Then, Sebastian talking directly to the camera: “She is incredible.” This fades into the Waitress laughing as she tells Raina, “It was in the movie!” Clip of Raina and Sebastian in a hotel room while she takes off his jacket as she tells him: “Get comfortable.” Fades into the last text screen: “Watch now” in all capitals with a URL box underneath: youtube.com/ – this fades out and the video closes with the Morpheyes motion logo of an abstract eye and lashes opening and closing.

If you missed our short film INSPIRED at all these festivals last year, now’s your chance – our award-winning film is coming to YouTube October 11, 2024! Starring a Deaf and Disabled lead and written by the brilliant Darian Slattery, INSPIRED brings the conversation about authentic representation to a whole new level. Stay tuned — you won’t want to miss this story! Featuring Darian Slattery, Andreas Gabriel Woerner, and Megan Maley.

Image Description:

Official poster for INSPIRED, overlaid with 11 different laurels from various film festivals it’s been selected for on the bottom half. The poster features a tightly-cropped photo of Sebastian, a white man’s chest wearing a black T-shirt standing against a light blue background. A woman’s hand (Raina) with red-painted fingernails and a ring on her middle finger reaches up the chest from the bottom right side of the image. It almost looks like the ASL sign for “mine.” The film’s title is centered with white text that reads “INSPI” in bold text and “RED” in thin text. At the top of the image is the tagline: “Their love was never normal. It was special.” Below all the laurels is the film’s credits, which feature the names and roles of the Deaf-led team for INSPIRED. Below this is text that reads “Coming to YouTube” in all capital letters, as well as the official release date for the film, October 11, 2024.

Happy Birthday, Morpheyes Studio! Five years ago today, seven Deaf students formed NTID’s first Deaf-led film studio and blazed a new path forward for Deaf students on campus. By providing Deaf artists with an accessible place to develop their filmmaking skills, NTID amplifies Deaf creators to tell their own stories through Morpheyes. Cheers to more authentic Deaf and Disabled stories making waves!

Descriptive Transcript: The video opens with white text being typed across a black screen and a blinking yellow underline to show the letters being typed: “Five years ago…” The text slowly fades while a video fades up in the background, showing two of the original founders–Natasha and Rajay–sitting against a dull blue background. Natasha asks Rajay a question in ASL while captions appear onscreen in a regular TV closed captions style: “What do you think Morpheyes will be like in 5 years?” Rajay considers this, looking up and exhaling sharply before the video cuts off to black.
White text is typed across the screen in all caps with the same blinking yellow type effect: “Morpheyes Studio.” Underneath in regular white text is “Est. June 3, 2019.” The text fades to a black screen.
The next sequence shows several clips of Morpheyes team members and various productions from 2019 through to 2024. An extreme close-up of someone’s eye opening, team members in front of a green screen, a film project being edited onscreen, an extreme close-up of someone’s face twitching their lips, three team members sitting in front of the same dull blue background as earlier, someone holding a color board in front of the camera on a beach, two hosts of a show signing “right?!” a woman in a car signing “It’s sensitive!”, someone holding a camera and doing a “hang 10” sign, crew members on the set of our “INSPIRED” short film throwing a peace sign, someone signing “back to start” in front of theater seats, an actor shaking out their body as if to “restart,” a woman framed by a car window having a piece of hair put back in place, a blonde person signing “Relay” to the camera, two crew members reviewing a shot on set, the Morpheyes team sitting around clinking their coffee cups together in a toast, and the sequence ends with one team member, AJ, sitting in front of an editing computer. AJ looks back at the camera–gives a nod, a smile, and a wink before his video “shuts off” like a TV program to a black screen.
White text is typed across the screen in all caps with the same blinking yellow type effect: “THANK YOU” and underneath in regular white text is “to all our founders.” The text is covered up by a TV that drops down onscreen from above. The TV “turns on,” showing a series of clips that feature each of the original 7 founders as their names are shown accordingly with captions. Each time the video changes, the screen distorts to mimic an old TV changing channels.
The founders are shown in this order: Moises, a Hispanic individual riding his bike; Rydrea, a Black individual high-fiving another team member on set; Natasha, a white individual smiling in front of a lush green background; Patrick, a white individual holding his cochlear implant in his hands; Rajay, a South Asian individual on a beach who turns to the camera and signs “Yes, I’m Deaf;” Rachel, a white individual looking offscreen with the blue sky as her background; and Chad, a white individual standing shirtless addressing the camera directly: “What are you doing?!” He signs before the video “turns off” like a TV program.
Inside the TV frame, more white text appears in all caps: “We’re proud to continue the work you started.” The text disappears and the TV “turns on” to show one last video inside its frame. We see Rydrea, now sitting in a green screen studio addressing the camera. As he signs, the video and TV slowly expand to fill the screen until they disappear out of the frame. Rydrea signs: “One day, trubiz Deaf culture will be brought to the big screen in Hollywood. That’s my goal.”
There is a flash effect to mimic a photo being taken and we see three different photographs of the Morpheyes team in Polaroid form, where the team is all standing together in a line. When all 3 photos are up onscreen, text is typed out in black font over one of the Polaroids to read “Happy Birthday, Morpheyes!” Everything fades. The last video that fades up is an old compilation of the 2020 Morpheyes members individually signing “Morpheyes” and cut together so each person is signing a different piece of the whole sign. When Natasha finishes the sign with a big grin, the official Morpheyes motion logo with an abstract eye and lashes closes out the video. End of descriptive transcript.

Check out the full video — and the award-winning film — on our channel to find out why Raina’s #NotYourInspiration! Descriptive Transcript: Video clip, taken from the longer Director’s Statement video, opens with a gradient red/purple background. White text fades on: INSPIRED, Director’s Statement.

Her name and role appear next to her onscreen: Writer and Director • INSPIRED. She signs to camera: “Abled people make these movies that focus on disabled stories–not actually to support disabled people. They do it for their own entertainment. The way that abled people tend to write the more positive representations of disabled people are called ‘inspiration porn.’” The video cuts in closer on Darian as she signs the phrase again, with white text popping up behind her head: INSPIRATION PORN. She chuckles at the camera before it fades to the same gradient background as the beginning. More white text appears in 3 lines: INSPIRED, Director’s Statement, watch the full video on YouTube.

Clips that follow: a shot of Raina and Seb’s shoes as they play footsie; Raina with a walker outside while Seb is picking up her bag from the ground; a close-up of Raina’s hand drawing a red heart on paper with S + R inside; Seb helping Raina as she walks with her walker in the background; a shot of them on the couch holding hands and wine glasses with Merlot; Raina looking at Seb (offscreen) as he takes off her glasses and she looks at him expectantly; a close-up of Seb’s chest as Raina’s hand moves upward towards his neck. The clip fades to black leaving only the title centered in white text, which fades and blurs into the upcoming release date of the film: 10•11•2024. Underneath in white text fades and b

The article headline is typed out in bold black text: “Award-winning Morpheyes Studio expands the authentic representation of Deaf people in media.” At the bottom, three Morpheyes film posters pop up one by one in a stack: “Inner Dialogue,” a yellow poster with the title subtly made to look like fingers using nail details. “INSPIRED,” a light blue poster showing a close-up of a man’s chest wearing a black T-shirt with a woman’s hand resting over it. “Deaf And…,” a black poster showing a single white dandelion with wisps blowing off. The posters fly offscreen one by one and an orange box overtakes the screen to become the new background. The Morpheyes Eye-con logo appears at the top. In the center, white text appears in all caps: “Check out the story!” with a link to the article underneath: “tinyurl.com/MorpheyesNews”. All the text drops down offscreen, leaving the Morpheyes logo in the center. End of video and transcript.
