Applications open for second round of AccessCBC program for disabled creators

CBC announced Wednesday the second round of AccessCBC, a national program that provides pre-development training, mentorship and financing support to Deaf and disabled creators. For the second iteration of the initiative, CBC is collaborating with the Disability Screen Office, a national, disability-led, not-for-profit organization that works with the Canadian screen industry to eliminate accessibility barriers and foster authentic disability representation on and off screen. Support for disabled creators is being provided through three programming streams — scripted comedy/drama, unscripted and kids. Submissions for the scripted and kids streams are open now through Friday, March 15. Detailed information about the program is available...
