1
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
my experience when it comes to

2
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
disability being included in the
conversation

3
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
about inclusivity has been that in

4
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
general it hasn't been

5
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
It's only recently that it's really start

6
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
to move the needle on me, you do a lot of

7
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
work with sag-aftra in issues around
of diversity

8
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
and inclusivity and I got a say that the

9
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
performance of disability has done

10
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
phenomenal work in moving the needle

11
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
in getting this conversation happening in

12
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
the industry , its amazing how much energy

13
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
it takes to get that big old bolder role

14
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
in just an inch and they've done that

15
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
and it's starting to move now, it's

16
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
actually starting to role and people

17
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
have that in conversation 
cause-ahh-causepeople

18
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
I think what Iam most excited about
right now

19
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
is that so many people are talking about

20
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
equality and inclusivity and they are

21
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
trying to make sure that nobody get's

22
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
left out and so when you point out

23
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
to somebody that you are leaving out

24
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
the 20% of the population

25
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
they pay attention, they wake up

26
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
and so that to me has been, I think it's

27
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
not been nearly as hard a converstion

28
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
as it would have been 10-15 years ago

29
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
people suddenly go, oh ! you are right

30
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
I haven't been thinking about that 


31
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
i have'nt been including performance
of the disabilities in my projects,

32
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
I haven't been hiring writers 
with disabilities

33
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
I haven't been looking for producer

34
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
so the simple fact that is being pointed

35
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
out to them in a sometimes in the

36
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
shaming way but sometimes in the

37
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
this action will improve your bottom line

38
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
because people always wanna see
themselves on camera

39
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
and this doesn't always either be
the point

40
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
in fact sometimes it's most powerful win

41
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
yo, what you see a person on camera with a

42
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
disability and it's not the point of 
the story

43
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
that's happening more and more
it's not happening enough

44
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
but lets be clear 
but it's happening more

45
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
cause you know 
at the end of the day I think

46
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
people are starting to realize that if you

47
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
say you stand for a quality, it's got be 
a quality across the board

48
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
It can't be just quality for people that
look look like me

49
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
or my gender,or think like me, or 
love like me

50
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
It's gotta be a quality for everybody

51
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
either you fight for everybody or 
you really just fighting for yourself

52
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
and people like you

53
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
so I think that's the message that's 
gotta get out there more and more

54
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
I think, It's out there that simple 
note of

55
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
don't forget about these folks

56
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
who are by the way is the biggest 
population

57
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
of people that are forgotten in the 
country
