Thank you for such a lovely shoutout! I don’t know if I’d even be a screenwriter today without the @DisabilityChall
Writer, Producer, and Actor Rachel Handler who’s been participating in the challenge since year 1, says the EDFC creates “a supportive community for disabled artists. And having that support system is so key to surviving and thriving in this industry.” Thanks for your support and great filmmaking, Rachel!

New reel! Proudest moment of editing was adding my name at the end 🥴 Luckily I’m an actor, not an editor.

Our film for the @DisabilityChall is about a disabled actress who fakes a few more disabilities to play Helen Keller, and we have a descriptive transcript thanks to @HabenGirma so if you’re actually deaf and blind you can fully experience it! (1/2)

Here’s the descriptive transcript - docs.google.com/document/d/1…
ALT A white woman and an indigenous woman lie next to each other on the floor holding hands, heads side by side. Text above them reads the title of the movie poster - Best Friends FOREVER
I had the melody in my head but @Tina_Balance brought the music to life as our composer!!! #moviemusical #5daystomakeafilm
Rachel Hander, winner of Best Writer for UNLUCKY IN LOVE this year joined us for a remote interview at the awards show, made possible by Microsoft Teams @MicrosoftTeams !

Thank you so much, @PaulMartinLA! I think we creatives with disabilities have some things to say…and what an incredible platform to express ourselves!
Congratulations to @RachelHandler on winning Best Writer for the film "Unlucky in Love!"
Further congrats on a groundbreaking year where all of the @DisabilityChall writing finalists are #PeopleWithDisabilities.

Big thanks to @DescribedVideo for the wonderful audio description for our film!!! 🎬🎶♿️🙌✨🦿
I thought I’d conquered my #bodyimage struggles, but even while I watch this film that I’m so proud of, I get self conscious of my “big arms” from this angle. Why does society still equate thin arms with #beauty? How do we change?Stop only featuring one body type? #stopretouching
Audio description makes art accessible to people who are blind or low vision, & is an artistic medium itself! Not enough people know about AD. Next time you’re watching a Netflix original toggle it on and try it out! #audiodescription #accessibilityresources #disabledandcute
(Netflix added audio description to original content after they made Daredevil, about a blind superhero, and didn’t make it accessible to blind audiences 🧐) #daredevil #DisabilityInclusion #accessibility
