How to make a film about chronic illness

How often do you see chronic illness or disability portrayed on your screens? The answer is, sadly not as often as we should. In fact, disabled people are the most under-represented group in television, both on and off screen.

In this episode, we speak to screenwriter Charlotte Paradise to explore accessibility in the industry.

She’s behind the short film ‘Chronic’ which follows a chronically ill woman as she moves in with her boyfriend for the first time. Charlotte herself lives with chronic illness and was eager to give opportunities to people like her during the filming process.
