We demonstrate discuss how choice—alongside various filmic practices—seeks decentre ableist gaze, normalizing narratives, ubiquitous non-disabled referent. Other considerations enacted discussed include centring access aesthetics, consent, care, justice principles, questions power every aspect creation process.
