Sign Media, Inc. (SMI) is a leading producer of video and print materials on American Sign Language and Deaf Culture.
SMI was founded in 1979 as a part-time venture to produce "state-of-the-art" video materials for learning and teaching American Sign Language. Sign Media's first set of videos, designed to accompany "The Green Books", created new standards of excellence in Sign Language materials. In 1985 Sign Media moved from a part-time venture to a full-time production company and has continued its leadership position in the field.
To date, Sign Media has produced over 350 video titles covering virtually all aspects of American Sign Language and the American Deaf Community including Sign Language Instruction, Interpreter Education, American Deaf Culture, Entertainment, and ASL Translations or Synopses of material published in English. The vast majority of these programs have been produced in Sign Media's custom designed facilities. These facilities include a 900 square foot studio, with full broadcast-quality production capability.
