Inclusion for All!
When I lost my leg seven years ago in a car accident, I didn't even know what a prosthetic leg looked like. Now, I create films starring actors with disabilities because I never want another person to feel the way I did in that hospital bed; alone, afraid, and angry. The latest film I created was a sci-fi thriller for the Easterseals Disability Film Challenge. 70% of roles with disabilities still go to men so we decided to have a cast of all women with disabilities. Our crew was also mostly women. I used to hide my prosthetic leg but now I love including it in every role I play on the screen and in real life.
