MTV True Life Chooses Deaf Student

MTV is coming to town.

MTV is producing a documentary, True Life, I’m Deaf and has chosen Aubrey Millar from my hometown. You may remember Aubrey from a previous post:

The Oldest Goes off to High School.

David and Aubrey have been friends since they were babies. I’m so excited for Aubrey and I look forward to watching this documentary unfold!

Update:
MTV came and shot footage for two days. Now it’s a matter of going back to the producer and determining if they’ll select Aubrey for the documentary or search for others.

Update II: The producers said they’re going to pass–“Aubrey is really well-adjusted and there’s not enough of a story here to film.”

    Great scoop, Karen! I’m only sorry my newsletter went out an hour ago or I would have included this wonderful news. You should be getting a bit of extra traffic from HearingExchange today. 🙂

    Exciting!!! I wonder when it will air? I’m really excited to see that series. I love the name Aubrey, too- that was our “girl” pick (Nolan ended up being a boy, lol).

    I hope she’s not getting a CI for the sake of the show…can you please clarify if CI will be an issue in this show? I can’t remember what the original press release said from MTV’s True Life.

    I never thought I’d be pro MTV at this point in my life, but it sounds like they are doing something good!

    Ahhh NO she is not getting a CI for the sake of a t.v. show!! I believe they are following 1 or 2 others as well, I know they are filming someone in New Jersey. I think they wanted to follow someone going through the CI process but not 100% sure who it is.
