The Story
Seven years in the making, Louder Than Words, a feature length documentary film, follows two families as they deal with the struggles and controversy involved in trying to break the barriers between the hearing and deaf worlds for the benefit of their children. It is the story of how the controversial procedure, the cochlear implant, has created opportunities for some deaf individuals but has also drawn the resentment of much of the deaf community.

This film began shooting in summer of 2008 by New Slate Films and director Saj Adibs and completed in the fall of 2015. The journey began with the birth of Melissa Stark and continued to follow the family until her graduations into a mainstream school program. Tell me more…

These are just a few screen shots from the editing room. It’s pretty cool watching the kids grow up on film and how they’ve changed in the last 6 years.
