CinemAbility is here to teach The Art of Inclusion

CINEMABILITY: THE ART OF INCLUSION REVIEWED

“Cinemability: The Art of Inclusion” is a documentary about the art of including the disabled in our cinema. While it’s a lot of talking heads, the amazing direction finds a way to include a differently abled voice in talking about an expanding cinema space. Jane Seymour has one of the better interviews, but I enjoyed hearing from Ben Affleck. That…

Interns take on the DC premiere of CinemAbility

Initially, when accepting the offer to intern at Double R Productions, I was not sure what to expect. Rosemary had told me that we would be shooting and editing our own video but I was pleasantly surprised this month when we were presented with the opportunity to host the DC premiere of the documentary CinemAbilty.

In order to prepare for the event, we got down to business right away! We had about a week or so to promote the premiere (which is a blink of an eye in the event planning world). We started out researching different organizations in the D.C. area that we believed would be interested in attending. Once a list was created we reached out to dozens of groups, to formally invite them. First, we sent out an email to each group, then the next day we followed up with phone calls.

The next step in our event planning led us to creating a press release. Once the release was created, we referred to a media list of all of the newspapers and news channels in the metropolitan area. Similar to our outreach to DC’s organizations, we sent a preliminary email out, which contained a press release that we wrote along with all of the information regarding the premiere and a quick summary of the documentary. The following day consisted of follow up calls.

This was exciting for me. As embarrassing as it is to admit this, I was fangirling a little bit (or a lot a bit but hey! Who's counting..). How often can someone say they were on the phone with someone from Fox’s News Room pitching an event that they helped organize! (well maybe most people here in DC actually, but this was new for me)

The night of the premiere was a success! Despite the rain and short amount of time we had to get things off the ground, we had a great turn out! Director Jenni Gold and comedic actor Danny Woodburn from Seinfeld attended the premiere and stuck around for a Q&A after the film. (I fangirled a bit here too)

The film was amazing, unexpectedly funny and eye opening. I definitely recommend you all to look into it!

Organizing and promoting the DC premiere of CinemAbility was the first time that I had been introduced to this aspect of communications. I find that with my internship with Double R I am learning and growing with every experience. Being able to work in such a hands on atmosphere has not only taught me more than the basics of what it takes to work in such a demanding and versatile business, but it has truly brought me out of my shell and has introduced me to something that I love.
