Creative and Accessible Strats for Rapid Micro-Film Production
ft. Cashmere Jasmine, Cedric Tai, and Gina Chin-Davis

Disabled filmmakers are always finding innovative ways to express themselves. For June’s Member Meeting, we’re having a Skill Swap with Cashmere Jasmine, Cedric Tai, and Gina Chin-Davis, three FWD-Doc members who recently took part in Open Television’s Brave Futures program. 

Using just an iPhone 17 and two weeks, they each created a 5-minute short film as part of The Nuance of Neurodivergence. Their films explore how different experiences of neurodivergence shape the way we create and tell stories.

Together, we’ll reflect on how quick, phone-based filmmaking can support disability-led creativity and experimentation. We’ll also discuss how this approach can challenge, reshape, or sometimes conflict with neurotypical filmmaking norms.

FWD-Doc members can access the link to RSVP in our Google Group or Facebook Group. This helps us to keep our online spaces safe and to protect people’s privacy.
