Accessible Locations
Every location that people with disability are required to physically be at, all work and filming locations and facilities must be accessible to those individuals, thereby removing physical barriers and creating an inclusive environment for both the production team and any potential audiences.
Accessibility in locations encompasses a range of considerations, such as wheelchair ramps, accessible restrooms, and adequate signage in braille. By prioritizing these accommodations, a production not only complies with inclusivity standards but also demonstrates a commitment to welcoming individuals with disabilities in all aspects of the filmmaking process.
