<p>On March 9, the New York office hosted a meetup in preparation for the Easterseals Disability Film Challenge. Founded by SAG-AFTRA member Nic Novicki, the 55-hour-long weekend challenge gives filmmakers — with and without disabilities — the opportunity to collaborate on short films and tell unique stories that showcase disability in its many forms. The meetup allowed creators from the disability community to network, receive advice and recruit cast and crew for their films.</p><p><em>Photo by Easterseals Disability Film Challenge.</em></p>
