One of the things thatвЂ™s interesting is theyвЂ™re putting some real numbers on what those costs would be, because I think sometimes youвЂ™re scared to walk into those conversations. This is Richie Siegel and Marisa, who you and I had actually spoken with before, because I did a little thing with them for the Inevitable Foundation. WeвЂ™ll put a link in the show notes and to the report, and also to this Hollywood Reporter article which does a good job of walking through it.

Then they looked at a 20-week budget for a 10-episode show and then did the same thing and calculated the cost there. They looked at the cost if there were 25% disabled writers versus 100% disabled writers. In this project they looked at two budgets. They mostly focus on mid-level screenwriters. One of their missions is that they want to close the disability gap between real life and film and television, because disabled people make up over 20% of the population, but represent less than 1% of writers behind the screen. They created a calculator to look at the cost of what it would actually cost production to have X percentage of disabled people on their sets or in their writers room. Then the Inevitable Foundation, which is the American equivalent of that 1in4 Coalition, just released an accommodations report this week. TheyвЂ™ve made some good progress in the UK based on his speeches and other people doing work on the ground. He was talking to us about simple things like bathrooms that are accessible for everybody and making sure that thereвЂ™s a person on set whose responsibility it is to really focus on making sure that people can do their jobs and that thereвЂ™s nothing holding them back because of accessibility issues. Megana: In Episode 530, Jack Thorne introduced us to the 1in4 Coalition, which is an organization that focuses on accommodations for disabilities in the UK entertainment industry. John: WeвЂ™ll put a link in the show notes for that. ItвЂ™s a hybrid in between, but itвЂ™s not a full-on normal feature. How did I never hear about this? ItвЂ™s a documentary that has reenactment footage in it. I looked through the trailer of it, because it says, oh, all these famous people are in this. I said on the thing, вЂњWe donвЂ™t do movies about people who didnвЂ™t do things.вЂќ

John: This had come up as like, oh, someone should make a movie about Stanislav Petrov, whoвЂ™s the Russian who did not start a nuclear war. He recommended this great film about Stanislav Petrov, The Man Who Saved the World. Megana Rao: Tony wrote in regarding Episode 545, the nuclear episode. Megana, what stuff has come in through the mailbox that we need to address on this podcast? In our Bonus Segment for Premium Members, weвЂ™ll talk about how you ask for money, be that for making a movie or for launching a campaign to save the planet.ДЇirst, producer Megana Rao is here, and we have some follow-up to get through. WeвЂ™ll look at ways writers can address that with two of the folks behind a new campaign to put some good energy out there. Today on the show, we live on a planet experiencing climate change, yet the stories we tell tend to ignore this uncomfortable fact. My name is John August, and this is Episode 547 of Scriptnotes, a podcast about screenwriting and things that are interesting screenwriters.
