FWD-Doc: Filmmakers with Disabilities (pronounced ‘forward doc’) and our allies: working in the film industry to end ableism.

[FWD-Doc @FwdDoc]

As you attend #FilmFestivals + industry events, please complete an #AccessibilityScorecard (also asking nondisabled filmmakers/attendees to engage): https://t.co/Bqx3RH8WH8. It takes 15min & will help events identify ways to improve accessibility.

If only there were a reputable company with a proven track record that could be providing access (not just captions but also ASL, audio description) & unlocking the 3rd largest audience segment in the US. Oh yeah, there is. Hire D-PAN, @MSNBC @CBSNews @ABC @CNN @FoxNews.

[James LeBrecht @JimLeBrecht]

Signal boosting @MarleeMatlin who is calling out the “craptions” (my term, not hers) found on @CNN. The captions on @MSNBC are better as is the coverage. #AccessIsNotOptional.

We Might Regret This is on TONIGHT and you should watch it

Funny, authentic, sexy - and one of the best things I've seen about disability

"You find yourself wondering how it took commissioners quite so long." We've been wondering the same thing. Hey audiences, tell the commissioners to come and chat with FWD-Doc members. We've got some stories to tell.

Great piece by @Lucy_Webster_ about We Might Regret This. We're so excited for audiences to get to know the talented @KylaHarris and the entire team behind this project. Industry, take note. You want authentic stories? FWD-Doc filmmakers have them.

[Lucy Webster @Lucy_Webster_]

New comedy series We Might Regret This may be one of the best things about disability I've ever watched

It's genuinely funny, fully authentic, and shows how much beautiful intimacy - sexual and otherwise - suffuses disabled life
