I’m hoping the lull coming from the studios has to do with the fall festivals, because I really haven’t gotten much. And when I do email a studio rep, i just get ignored. I was sent a collection from IFC, which would have been an excellent opportunity for me to try and get existing audio description for some titles where I initially didn’t, but instead I got flat out ghosted. I’ve tried preemptively reaching out to reps for some studios about accessibility, ahead of eventual screeners, and crickets. Still, I’ve seen over 250 films so far, so here’s what I’ve got.
