With one-in-five people having a disability in the U.S. today, the lack of representation – just 3.1 percent on screen and even less in children’s television (less than one percent) – means that millions of people are unable to see themselves in media today. RespectAbility has been honored to play a part in changing this, including consulting on an array of films and TV shows for a variety of studios and networks. But change must be embraced from the top and have buy-in at every level. How are network and studio executives working within their organizations to encourage more disability representation whether in front of the camera or behind it? Join Jonathan Murray in conversation with executives from NBCUniversal, Sony Pictures Entertainment and The Walt Disney Company. Also, hear from actors Kayla Cromer, Sophie Kim, Shaylee Mansfield, RJ Mitte, Natasha Ofili, Holly Robinson Peete, Shoshannah Stern and more to be announced!
