For many filmmakers and talent, their workspace is on set. For disabled representation to be increased both behind and in front of the camera, Hollywood needs to make sets accessible. It’s not that hard, it just takes intention.
If sets aren’t accessible, disabled talent can’t be included. If they’re not included, their stories and point of view are not told. If their stories are not told, culture does not change. Add the A. Make your set accessible.
We’re less than a week into National Disability Employment Awareness Month. The stories of companies talking about the value of diversity, equity, inclusion, and access are everywhere.
