Empowering screen practitioners to challenge the status quo.
It's time for change. It’s time to create authentic screen content that truly celebrates our diversity and humanity.
We know that the content of our screens influences our understanding of the world. Especially when it comes to disability and marginalised cultures. That's why we're focused on screen industry-specific Disability Justice training and advocacy. We don't need to wait for mandatory quotas. It's time to recognise that we can learn from the diverse experiences of Disabled screen practitioners as our peers. It’s time we started working together. That's how we believe we can shape our industry for the better.
Let’s get started.
Behind the scenes of AMAR
Our Disability Justice Lens equity and inclusion training is for everyone.
Whether you’re in front of or behind the camera, we're making it accessible. Most importantly, it's led by Disabled screen professionals. We'll share our solutions to the barriers to opportunity, perpetuated within the sector.
Sign up to our mailing list to be notified when our program launches.
Together, we can provide access to screen content that reflects and resonates with us all.
We are proud to advocate for equity.
Our speakers educate, empower and entertain, through the lens of lived experience. With over 30 years' involvement in the screen industry, we have an in-depth understanding of where we've come from. We also hold a personal commitment to shifting the needle of change.
We'd love to be a part of your online or in-person events, seminars, or pre-production meetings. If you would like to find out more about how we can work with your organisation please send us an enquiry.
We are developing an industry-specific, disability-led ‘how-to guide’ for genuine inclusion.
And we want to get it right, so we're making sure it's evidence-based. We've just released the Disability and Screen Work in Australia: Report for Industry 2023 (in partnership with The Melbourne Disability Institute, University of Melbourne). We want to publicise these findings and share this information with our peers. Contact us to find out more about our upcoming resources.
Words We Love
“The goal is that everyone should get to turn on the TV and see someone who looks like them and loves like them. And just as important, everyone should turn on the TV and see someone who doesn’t look like them and love like them. Because perhaps then they will learn from them. Perhaps then they will not isolate them. Marginalize them. Erase them. Perhaps they will even come to recognize themselves in them. Perhaps they will even learn to love them.”
