Media Access Awards
Celebrating depictions of disability in film, television, and new media
I would like to enter mine and my writers’ screenplay into contests that would make us eligible for awards.
“ANONYMITY: The History of Straight, Incorporated”
WGA Reg: I48569
My name is Brian Dodd. I am legally disabled as a result of the tortures and abuses done to me at a former juvenile lockdown facility called Straight, Incorporated. Our 120 page manuscript was structured and written over five years, through the University of South Florida creative writing departments and college film clubs (USF UFVA), with direct edits from Miriam Goodspeed (Edward Scissorhands) of the Florida Motion Picture and Television Association. Our manuscript is supported and endorsed by NAACP Florida President Adora Nweze, and other NAACP chapter presidents, and by many film associations nationally and locally.
Hi Brian,
The Media Access Awards is not a screenplay competition. Every year, we award people in the industry – writers, producers, directors, actors, casting directors – who have advanced the portrayal and employment of people with disabilities. So, its based on work individuals have done during their careers.
We wish you a lot of luck with your work.
