Using access as a creative tool
Current project - Untethered
Premiere at Kendal Mountain Festival - November 21st 2024, broadcast on Sky November 22nd 2024
​
Melanie Barratt, a gold-medal winning Paralympian trains tethered to an elastic bungee in a small pool on her own, but now new ambitions are burning - she’s desperate to try open-water swimming. What happens next surpasses all expectations as she not only finds community, but also an increasing pride in her identity as a disabled woman.
For this immersive film we have integrated access from the very beginning. Creative audio description, captions alongside enhanced contrast and colour, as well as BSL are all available on screen for everyone to experience.
Underwater in a lake, Melanie floats through leafy tendrils that are drifting up from the pebbly bottom.

Accessible Content Services
Accessible captions, audio description, alt text and BSL all make films and content available to D/deaf, blind and partially sighted, and benefit many others. We're working with partners Coldhouse Collective and several film festivals including, Banff Mountain Film Festival, Vancouver International Mountain Film Festival, Kendal Mountain Festival and Sheffield Adventure Film Festival to provide accessible screenings, educational workshops and open source guidelines (click on the image below to download). Some of this work has been made possible with the generous support of Berghaus and BFI Film Hub North.
​
Due to demand from film festivals, many of whom now request accessible captions and are looking to include audio description files in the near future, we now have a dedicated Instagram @Access_Adventure_film. Please head there for news of workshops, bite-size help guides and the latest films available with access built in.
We also provide these services to individuals and brands, so, if you need a film audio described or captioned, or a workshop delivered to your team. Please contact us for a quote or more information.
