Where Digital Meets
Deaf-Led Creativity

Our Story

Deafinitely Digital Inc. is a Deaf-led creative initiative founded by filmmaker and multidisciplinary artist Ebony R. Gooden. The platform supports the development of accessible, visually driven storytelling through film, performance, and collaborative artistic projects.

Rooted in Deaf culture and visual language, Deafinitely Digital explores new ways of communicating stories through movement, sign language, mask work, and experimental media. The work often brings together Deaf, disabled, racialized, and marginalized artists to create spaces where accessibility is not an afterthought but an integral part of the creative process.

Through productions, workshops, and collaborations with arts organizations, Deafinitely Digital aims to challenge traditional approaches to storytelling while expanding opportunities for Deaf artists and audiences.

Deafinitely Digital also serves as the production home for Silent Soul Studio, a new creative direction that focuses on experimental film, performance, and deeply personal visual storytelling.

Our Mission

To ignite change through stories that centre Deaf culture and racialized experiences. We craft media that doesn’t just include access, but redefines it by making accessibility be a part of art.

Our Value

  • Deaf-Led: Deaf language, creativity, and leadership are at the heart of everything we do.

  • Access-First: Accessibility is designed as part of the art, never an afterthought.

  • Culturally Rooted: Our stories honour the depth of Black, Indigenous, and racialized identities.

  • Experimental with Purpose: We push artistic boundaries with care, intention, and innovation.
