Breaking Barriers: The DSO Hosts its First PanelThe people we see onscreen matters. For disabled creatives, the barriers to breaking into, and remaining, in the film and TV industry are monumental. The challenges the community face is what fueled the creation of the Disability Screen Office. The Disability Screen Office (DSO), newly formed in 2022, is a national, not-for-profit organization that works with the Canadian screen industry to eliminate accessibility barriers and foster authentic and meaningful disability representation throughout the sector. The DSO, led by inaugural executive director Winnie Luk, took to the stage during TIFF 2023 to host the industry panel Breaking Barriers, Shattering Ceilings: Advancing Accessibility and Inclusion for People with Disabilities in the Screen Industry.
