Filmmaking and Disability: A Roadmap for Emerging Creators
About
Busstop Films Consultant and Director/DoP, Mikey Hamer, opens up the conversation on current best practice around disability-led storytelling.How do we tell authentic stories without falling into the inspiration porn trap? Who should be in the room when the script is written? And where do we find talent that actually reflects the real world?
This session covers the how-to of navigating disability on and off-screen. Drawing on his long-standing involvement with Bus Stop Films and his experience consulting for major production companies and studios, Mikey breaks down the barriers to creating truly inclusive sets. He’ll share insights gained from his latest film Hindsight—fresh from playing opening night film at SKFF—Mikey provides a roadmap for emerging filmmakers looking to navigate this space.
Whether you are a writer director, producer, or writer, this workshop is a must-attend for anyone looking to tell disability-led stories with authenticity, professional integrity, and—most importantly—zero chance of screwing it all up.
