Sian Heder Leveraged Oscar Win to Adapt 'Being Heumann'
Original: Sian Heder Used Her “Moment of Power” After Winning an Oscar to Get ‘Being Heumann’ Made # MovieNews # Movies # AFIFest
Filmmaker Sian Heder, who won the Academy Award for 'CODA', told AFI Fest attendees that she used the attention following her Oscar win to get 'Being Heumann' made. The project adapts disability rights activist Judith Heumann's memoir, continuing Heder's focus on Deaf and disability representation on screen. She described the period after her win as a 'moment of power' that she chose to spend on the adaptation.
Why now: Heder is discussing the new film publicly at AFI Fest, drawing attention to her follow-up to Oscar-winning 'CODA'.
