The Filmed in Foney Glasses podcast was produced to educate the entertainment industry of the need for authentic representation of people with disabilities in all aspects of filmmaking. Previously a vlog, FFG discusses the writing, performance, and direction of film and television with ‘blind’ subjects. While some projects have begun to hire ‘consultants’, not only is this offensive to many in the disability community, it’s also robbing disabled individuals of careers, and another method of gatekeeping. A consultant gets paid a flat fee for sharing details about their body, while the abled filmmaker makes bank.
