HLAA Webinar: Good Enough
Each of us has a story – several really – that goes beyond our hearing loss, our hearing aids and the challenges we face living with them. What ‘s your story? Have you used your talents – your writing, your art, your music, your voice – to share your story with others?
Stu Nunnery and Laurel Jonason will share excerpts from their new screenplay, “Good Enough,” to illustrate how authentic, three dimensional characters go beyond their hearing loss to turn what once was “perfect” into “good enough” and how Hollywood has begun to take note.
Date: February 23, 2021
Time: 2 p.m. ET, 1 p.m. CT, 12 p.m. MT, 11 a.m. PT
