Vision Statement
To create a world where the voices, stories, and rights of persons with disabilities are powerfully represented, respected, and realized through the transformative lens of film and media.
Mission Statement
To harness the power of film and visual storytelling to advocate for the rights, dignity, and inclusion of persons with disabilities—amplifying their voices, challenging stereotypes, and inspiring action toward a more just and accessible world.

We ensure that persons with disabilities are not just represented, but actively involved in all aspects of storytelling—from concept to screen.
