Bonus – NYWIFT Talks Panel: ReelAbilities Film Festival

In this bonus episode we bring you the NYWIFT Talks discussion with ReelAbilities with Director and Co-Founder Isaac Zablocki, Michele Spitz (Woman of Her Word) and filmmaker Lisa Denker. The panel talks about the changes that ReelAbilities has instituted for the Disabled Community and what progress still needs to be made. They explore the ways movie theaters need to re-structure to accommodate ADA laws, how filmmakers are paving their way to Hollywood with their original stories, and what Reel Abilities offers for disabled filmmakers. Moderated by Executive Director at the Cerebral Palsy Foundation, Rachel Byrne.
