A unique internship project

“In order to achieve true inclusivity, stories should include characters with disability, rather than stories being about disability. Having key creatives in front of and behind the camera are crucial to breaking down current industry barriers.” - Meret Hassanen, Associate Producer. The creation of a screen version of SHADOW is an extension of the theatrical work, not merely a filming of the stage version. A screen-based project rooted in community collaboration, creating genuine employment for people with disability. An integral part of this was a series of paid internships for people with a disability in roles both in-front of and behind the camera, working alongside and partnered with a team of film professionals and flipping the statistics of representation of people with a disability in the screen industry on its head.
