Overview

• Sinners will be available on Max in both its theatrical cut and a BASL-interpreted version, making it the first film on any streaming platform to feature Black American Sign Language.
• BASL incorporates unique grammar, signing space, rhythm, facial expressions and cultural nuances shaped by the history of segregated schools.
• Interpreter Nakia Smith brings the BASL performance to life under the artistic direction of Rosa Lee Timm, who has helmed prior ASL adaptations for Max.
• Max’s accessible offerings already include ASL renditions of Barbie, Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire and The Last of Us, reflecting its broader inclusion strategy.
• After leading box office rounds and grossing $365 million worldwide, Sinners hit digital VOD on June 3 and now transitions to streaming with this pioneering BASL option.
