Writing Disabled Characters

This is an edited recording of the discussion held by Disabled actors and filmmakers from 3.15-4.15pm on Saturday 7 December 2024 as part of the Together! 2024 Disability Film Festival. We would very much appreciate it if you could fill in this brief survey after viewing: https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/KVC28JY This is a quote from https://tiltingthelens.com/ “As with many sectors, the film and TV industries have work to do when it comes to authentic Disability inclusion and representation. According to Diamond’s recent survey of the industry in the UK, Disabled characters make up just 8.2% of characters on-screen, even though 20% of the population has a disability. Behind the camera, representation is even worse, with only 5.8% of offscreen talent being Disabled.  What’s more, Disability representation is rarely authentic: a recent Nielsen study showed that Disabled people are 52% more likely to say that the portrayal of Disabled identities is inaccurate. Too often, Disability representation still relies on harmful stereotypes, “inspiration porn” and non-disabled actors playing Disabled roles – a pervasive phenomenon known as “cripping up”. “ Some of the questions we discuss: What makes a Disabled character convincing to a Disabled audience? What sorts of Disabled characters do Disabled people want to see who don’t exist onscreen currently? What sort of characters do Disabled actors want writers to create for them? What are some of the challenges facing writers when they create Disabled characters? What do writers need to make them feel confident to create more Disabled characters?
