The School of Film, Media & Theatre has partnered with Showability a disability and accessibility advocacy group to provide a workshop, networking, and panel event, called “Accessibility Below-the-Line” on October 20^th at the GSU Student Activity Center.

In an effort to increase the capacity of Georgia’s entertainment industry workforce and to make our media productions more accessible for all Georgia creative workers, we are bringing together artists, scholars, and talent to learn about the ways to make the on-set and audition process more accessible for Georgia creatives.

Working with leading scholars on media accessibility, advocacy organizations, media companies, and entertainment labor organizations, this event will identify ways for studios and production companies to make small adaptations and accommodations in their existing practices so that the film and media produced in Georgia benefit from all of the talented and willing workers in the state.  

If you are interested in an industry networking event and learning how to make the media industries more accessible please make plans to attend.

The event is free and open to the public.
