AccessCBC is a national CBC initiative for Deaf and disabled creators developed in partnership with ReelAbilities Film Festival Toronto that will provide training, mentorship and, on select projects, financing support to create scripted and documentary screen-based content.

This program’s understanding of disability embraces The Accessible Canada Act definition which is inclusive of visible and invisible disabilities, permanent, temporary or episodic in nature.

Ten creators will be selected in each of the following streams: scripted comedy/drama and short documentaries.

The deadline to apply is January 26, 2022.
