Caption Action 2: March 2011 Newsletter

This is the Caption Action 2 newsletter for March 2011.

Two New Captioned Web Series

We like to start off with good news, so here is some: two new web series are captioned! The first one is The Vamps Next Door, at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GcrmXgWzUx0, about a family of vampires. What is interesting about this web series, is that the producers are very interested in giving actors with disabilities opportunities! Not only does this web series include a deaf character (Dewey, played by Antionette Abbamonte), they plan to have a disabled character in every episode. There's just one problem; they do not have the funding to produce more episodes. Keep an eye on their website at http://www.thevampsnextdoor.com/. They hope to add a PayPal button or some other means for donations to be made to keep the web series going.
