Casting Call! Participate in a series of online shorts about disability and how non-disabled people can be better allies.

The production company TOAD has contacted Yorkshire Rose Dyslexia about a series of online shorts they are making for a major broadcaster about disability and how non-disabled people can be better allies.

 

Their short films are aiming to reach young adults in particular.  They are looking for people who have:
Episode 1: Cerebral palsy
Episode 2: Dyslexia, dyscalculia, dysgraphia, and dyspraxia
Episode 3: IBD – Crohn’s and ulcerative colitis

They are looking for applications from people across the country and would like to know if any of our members in the 18 to 35 age range might be interested in featuring in these films.

For the people who appear in these online shorts, there will be a small loss of earnings fee to thank them for their contribution and time.  Filming will take place in a fully accessible studio in London mid-November (16th TBC) and all travel expenses will be covered for them.

Are you or do you know someone who would be interested? Apply at casting@toadlondon.com!
