His debut documentary, Crip Camp which he wrote and produced with co-creator @NicoleNewnham, has been shortlisted for the Oscars. It was produced by @BarackObama & @MichelleObama's production company and debuted on Netflix.
@JimLeBrecht has been working as a sound editor in Hollywood for the past three decades. He's worked on sound for films such as Battlefield Earth and Pitch Black.
There are not many disabled filmmakers that are getting recognition. However, there are many diverse voices that are trying to make a difference in the film industry. Here are a few we would like to highlight.
Excited to hear that professors are going to give some of their students extra credit for coming to watch the Code of the Freak stream on twitch this Saturday!
@OneSickVet Thank you for accepting! 💙
@DiorVargas Glad to connect! 💜
This is so wonderful. How I wish I could call her for help and advice.
We are honored to see our dear ancestor Stacey Park Milbern honored as one of @BitchMedia 50! “She advocated for those marginalized by a fundamentally ableist world while also pointing out the disability community’s own erasure of the queer and BIPOC people within it.”
Disabled people are here. We have always been here. We are your family. We are your friends. We deserve to be represented fairly.
Regardless of the trope, disabled tropes cause harm. Disabled tropes prevent disabled people from being treated like human beings. It’s time for a new message about disability in film.
LET'S TALK ABOUT DISABLED TROPES Every marginalized community experiences tropes in representation. For disability, this is largely because the disabled community doesn’t often get to create their own films.
