ABOUT ACCESS REFRAMED:
Making media accessible is too often approached as an afterthought, with only compliance in mind. From cost barriers to seemingly complex technologies, creators, presenters and funders find themselves in a constant conversation about who is responsible for meeting access needs such as captioning, ASL interpretation, audio description, and more. This project intends to approach the challenge from a place of collaboration, reframing accessibility as a societal value that's good for business.
Access Reframed is presented by Full Spectrum Features, All Senses Go, BACKBONES, and LaGrish.
Access Reframed is supported by The Department of Cultural Affairs and Special Events (DCASE).
