Impress everyone!

The beginning of MASC was a word from a deaf person.

"If I don't have subtitles, I can't watch this movie until I die"

“I am a mother of hearing, and I am always sad because I cannot enjoy movies with a deaf child.”

`` Japanese movies are sad because they have no subtitles, so I can only watch Western movies '' etc.

“Everything about the movie ’s excitement”

The activities started with many people involved.

The purpose of the Media Access Support Center is to create a society where all people can access movies and video works without any inconvenience.
