Set across three cities in India, We Make Film explores the creative journeys of d/Deaf and disabled filmmakers Debopriya, Mijo and Anuja. While some battles against inaccessability are won, sometimes they must give up dreams altogether due to inaccessible environments, exclusionary production practices, or barriers to film education. While documenting their stories, Shweta too begins to reflect on her privileges and revisits the lifelong creative collaborations she has had with her disabled father. We Make Film presents the intersection of these four filmmakers’ experiences through a documentary that rethinks accessibility, ally-ship, and collaboration in filmmaking today, and dreams of an inclusive creative future for all of us.
