Does anybody know if any of the companies or organizations that do audio description take requests for movies you'd like described? Theres a movie I'd really like to see but can't find it with it lol (self.Blind)

Now I haven't checked everywhere, but if ITunes has it with closed captioning and no audio description, its probably out everywhere else. Even went as far as the audio vault website searching for an MP3 of it with the description, wasn't there. So yeah, as the title says. Anyone know?

My partner has an AD company and much like u/dreaminghope9 said, the studios usually have to come to him in order to get it written. He has a huge laundry list of movies he would like to work on too. Hopefully, someday, this will just be the norm for all media.

Unfortunately, AD companies can't take requests because someone with rights to the movie has to hire us to describe it. So you have to convince a broadcaster or streaming service or the original production company to get it described.

The audio description narrators of America website has a wish list page where you can add a title that you wish to be described to it. I cannot vouch for the turnaround time of the request. But I do know that there is a wish list for titles that you would like to have audio described. I have attached the link below.

That’s not how this list works. Unfortunately, it’s just a list of titles they’re compiling to try and mention to different media providers in hopes that they will seek to get those titles narrated.

Out of curiosity, what's the movie?

Greystoke, the legend of tarzan from 84. I recently watched the 1932 tarzan the ape man, as I found it with AD, but can't find a movie over 50 years newer with it? Strange world we live in.
