Join us as we introduce Audio Described Movies, hosted on the first Friday of each month. Today, join us for the audio descriptive version of Asteroid City. Audio description (also referred to as “description” or “video description”) is defined as “the verbal depiction of key visual elements in media and live productions.” Audio description is a means to inform individuals who are blind or who have low vision about visual content essential for comprehension. Audio description of video provides information about actions, characters, scene changes, on-screen text, and other visual content.  The audio description of the action or the people or the scenery never interferes with the dialogue spoken by the characters.

What follows is an unexpected exchange of ideas and experiences that lead to eye-opening revelations. Rated PG-13
