Project & Professional Development Funding
Authentic representation and accurate portrayals remain a problem for disabled talent both in front of and behind the camera. The most effective way to change this is to become the producers and decision makers on our own projects.
Mediability Productions's Project Fund helps Members produce independent projects that increase the visibility of disabled talent in the film, television, music, arts, advertising and all other forms of media.
