Register today for the Easterseals Disability Film Challenge, an annual weekend-long short film competition held April 13-15. Entrants—with or without a disability—are given 55 hours to make a three-to-five-minute film based on an assigned genre. Now in its fifth year, the Easterseals Disability Film Challenge gives filmmakers a platform to collaborate and tell unique stories that will help change the way people view disability, expand the audience’s understanding of disability today and inspire people to join the conversation.

Winners are announced at a red-carpet event and receive a year-long mentorship from A-list industry players.
