Recently, two of our regular podcast co-hosts - Keisha and Jinnie - secured speaking roles on the Hallmark television series, “When Calls the Heart”. In this episode of the podcast, Shawn welcomes them along with the director of the episode, Siobhan Divine, to talk about the experience. From an inclusive casting process, accessible script, and on-set accommodations, they talk about the cast and crew’s collaborative effort to ensure an accessible experience before diving into the more general topic of the importance of casting actors with disabilities and authentic representation in film and TV.
Make sure you catch When Calls the Heart on the Hallmark Channel or on Amazon Prime —now with audio description available!
