Antoinette Abbamonte

Please join me today as I welcome #AntoinetteAbbamonte, supremely talented actress and advocate for deaf
performers, who recently starred in the film, “Since August.“ Antoinette will be joined by interpreter
#JonWolfeNelson.
“Since August” is a brilliant film, and features Antoinette as a grief-stricken mother who befriends a woman
who‘s been mysteriously spying on her. It’s a riveting drama about love, addiction, friendship, trauma, and
grief.
The character is deaf, as is Antoinette, who has become an advocate for artists with disabilities in Hollywood,
encouraging production teams to consider deaf actors not only when a role is written for a deaf character, but
in all circumstances. As Antoinette says, “being deaf is simply speaking a different language.”
I look forward to sharing our interview with you. #DeborahKobylt LIVE on all audio and video podcast
