I had the opportunity to write an article for the latest edition of the Assembled Magazine for the Irish Screen Editors Guild (ISE), about the challenges people with disabilities face when entering the post production industry. A recent graduate of mine from the Creative Broadcast & Film Production programme, Katie Quirke, also gave me a direct insight to the challenges and how things can be improved for editors with disabilities. This article and many others are now available to read from the ISE website HERE or by clicking the image above. Special thanks to Katie for allowing me to tell some of her story and to Shane Woods ISE for asking me to contribute to this issue.
