In collaboration with industry advocacy organisation FWD-Doc: Filmmakers with Disabilities (co-founded by Little By Little Films’ Lindsey Dryden) we offer bespoke training sessions to help empower film and TV professionals as they develop their disability inclusion practices and better engage with disabled talent and audiences.

Our training is customisable to everyone working in film and TV, from execs and senior decision-makers to production teams, press and marketing teams, film festival programmers and curators. Whether disabled or non-disabled, our training sessions support and equip off-screen talent with crucial skills. Get in touch via team [@] lblfilms.com to discuss your team’s training needs.

Training sessions with partners including Channel 4 have included: ‘How To Be Disabled In TV’, ‘How to Hire, Include, and Progress Disabled Employees & Freelancers’, ‘Disabled Representation On- and Off-screen’, ‘Creating Disability Production & Post Protocols’, ‘Disabled Talent Networking’, and ‘Mental Health Strategies for Disabled Off-Screen Talent’. We’ve created resource packs for Netflix and Doc Society. We can work with you to create sessions especially for your team.

All our sessions are delivered by active, multi-award winning disabled film and TV professionals, whose expertise is contemporary and informed by busy careers in the industry.

We were asked to offer this training — alongside our bread and butter work producing acclaimed films, television and VR — because our non-disabled colleagues recognised the value of disabled-led insights to improve their practices and access the currently under-served disabled audience of 1 billion people worldwide. We know this community because we’re part of this community.

Training is available in-person or online, and can be made fully accessible according to your team’s needs.
