Inclusive Filmmaking

Inclusion for All!

When I lost my leg seven years ago in a car accident, I didn't even know what a prosthetic leg looked like. Now, I create films starring actors with disabilities because I never want another person to feel the way I did in that hospital bed; alone, afraid, and angry. The latest film I created was a sci-fi thriller for the Easterseals Disability Film Challenge. 70% of roles with disabilities still go to men so we decided to have a cast of all women with disabilities. Our crew was also mostly women. I used to hide my prosthetic leg but now I love including it in every role I play on the screen and in real life.

Collapsible text is perfect for longer content like paragraphs and descriptions. It’s a great way to give people more information while keeping your layout clean. Link your text to anything, including an external website or a different page. You can set your text box to expand and collapse when people click, so they can read more or less info.
