Meet Matthew, an award winning screenwriter and filmmaker. He’s gonna take us through a crash course on disability representation in film since the beginning of cinema, and how these tropes correlate with the different models of disability. Brace yourself for a ton of movie and TV references, take notes, and stay tuned for Part 2!

In the bottom right, Matthew Alaniz, a Mexican American man with short black hair, mustache, and a goatee wearing a purple polo shirt smiles back. In the left center is Quasimodo, a man with an asymmetrical face, short hair, and a hunched back. In the right center is Stellan Skarsgård as Baron Vladimir Harkonnen, a bald man with black liquid ominously dripping down his face.]
