Dean Kamitsis

Dean is passionate about Equality. Born hearing, Dean became deafened as he entered adulthood and quickly went from a mild hearing loss to a severe one. Whilst doing his foundation degree at UCLan in 2016, Dean found his passion for all things film-making; whether it be for fun or volunteering his skills in the community to winning the UCLan J&MP Media Foundation Year School Prize during his first year. Dean is a scriptwriter, filmmaker and also a participant in the BSL Zone 'Found in Love' documentary. In 2018, he helped make an award-winning documentary as well as a social issues one. In September of 2021, his Shared Space documentary called "Running out of Road" was broadcast on Sky TV channel Showcase.
