Amazing to hear how Zoom has enabled easier access to actors for auditions. #Pocim2021

[The Politics of Casting in Media @Pocim2021]

Hannah Thomas: The audition process took longer due to covid, they were trying to figure out who fit best, the character wasn’t fully written but they did have key scenes, they knew the character was neurodiverse but that was about it for the character. #Pocim2021

[The Politics of Casting in Media @Pocim2021]

Having inclusive and diversity shown in the clips in the round table is amazing, it’s fantastic seeing neurodiverse actors represented properly on TV and the actors able to give input for the characters to make them more authentic. #Pocim2021

[The Politics of Casting in Media @Pocim2021]

Grateful for the actors sharing their experiences on their processes of developing their characters and the representation of their disabilities on screen. #Pocim2021
