Hands On Video Relay Service
Supports Young Film Artists
Hands On Video Relay
Service, Inc. (www.hovrs.com) has agreed to
a sponsorship deal with Mösdeux, a commercial and film production house, to
produce a series of short movies in hand with its “Are You Purple?”
campaign. The sponsorship, which
fills an area of need within the deaf and hard of hearing community for visually
oriented movies with sign language, will also include funding of future Mösdeux
projects.
Since late 2004, Mösdeux has
produced movies and shorts for clients using digital video technology. Chad W.
Taylor and Wayne Betts, Jr. are partners in the company, which
uses its trademark visual style, the result of work geared towards the visual
and linguistic needs of the deaf and hard of hearing community, to reach larger
markets. The company’s productions
include the short movie Vital Signs,
an innovative melding of the visual arts of cinema and signed storytelling, and
the new short Resonare, which is the
first movie to be sponsored as part of this agreement.
“We
are very proud to be sponsors of Mösdeux,” says Ed
Routhier, President. “Chad and Wayne are talented filmmakers, and Hands On
Video Relay Service is excited to continue its commitment to art by the deaf and
hard of hearing.”
The
“Are You Purple?” nationwide advertising campaign will include the distribution
of DVDs of Vital Signs to interested
consumers. Only Purple VIP members
of www.hovrs.com will be able to view the
newest movie from Mösdeux, Resonare.
Additional benefits include discounts, exclusive access to video campaigns, and
more exciting privileges to be announced.
“We
are grateful to Hands On Video Relay Service for their kindness and support, and
for helping make our passions a reality,” says Chad W.
Taylor. Adds Wayne
Betts, Jr., “Hands On has expanded our horizons in so many ways- not only do
they sponsor us, we rely on their video relay services to pull us through the
stress of production.” For more information on the campaign and for more
