We had no idea at first when we contacted Advanced Bionics regarding product placement for our film Spirit of Love http://spiritoflovemovie.com with Deaf & HOH teens that we would be making history.
Not only did Advanced Bionics agree to help us to make the film through their Product Placement dollars they agreed to let us use a brand new device called a NEPTUNE which is waterproof and allows a person with cochlear implants to be able to hear while in the water.
14 yr old deaf actress Maddie Burkholder who uses both an implant and a hearing aid got to experience a major first in her life, while diving into a pond for a fun scene while on location in Littleton Colorado.Check out her reaction on this video which we were able to capture.

As an Indie filmmaker it was a great honor for all of us to witness this experince first hand,and you'll see Maddie was thrilled.
