ReelAbilities & Bridge Partner to Create an Accessible Venue Guide

Bridge Multimedia, a Founding Partner of the ReelAbilities Film Festival was pleased to produce the ReelAbilities Accessible Venue Guide. It was created to help venue owners serve audience members with disabilities. The Guide offers suggestions and best practice tips for effectively communicating accessibility offerings before, during, and after an event at a venue.

ReelAbilities was founded in 2007 in New York City and has grown to become the largest annual film festival in the U.S. It is dedicated to fostering understanding of the stories, art, and experiences of people with disabilities, with events in over 20 cities around the world. Matt Kaplowitz, Bridge CEO shared: “A big part of the ReelAbilities story is its amazing growth. And now its influence is expanding to event venues, themselves. Bridge is thrilled that this Guide will help venue owners to further accessibility.”

Bridge never misses an opportunity to be involved with the exciting festival’s screenings, performances, panel discussions, and seminars. Every year Bridge provides pro bono audio description and captioning. This year our Technical Engineer, Louis Milisci, was a featured speaker in their Accessibility Summit for Film and Television.

ReelAbilities Film Festival 2023 will take place April 20-26, 2023, in a hybrid format. Submission opens on June 1, 2022.
