This is a re post from my personal film blog. https://cripvideoproductions.blogspot.com/2020/01/3-presentations-in-one-big-day.html I am not just trying to get traffic to my site. I just wanted to share this with follow bronies because I mentioned Lauren Faust in it. New posts on top.
On January 27th 2020, I did 3 presentations about Crip Video Productions films with members of my cast. John Diodato and I did the first regular presentation together where we discussed Cerebral Palsy, IEPs, the Moro Reflex as it relates to Cerebral Palsy, and diabetes. One student asked how large my fanbase was. I told her about my various fans from India, The Netherlands, Canada, Italy and Ghana Africa. One person asked why some people with disabilities may be offended if they are called inspiring so I tried my best to explain “Inspiration P#rn” as a term and the difference between good and bad forms of inspiration. One disabled student said he loved acting and was kind enough to offer his services to Crip Video Productions future projects.
This disabled student ended up coming with us to film the first of 2 video recorded presentations for the TV show created by Professor Mary Lynn Navarro of Kingsborough Community College titled “Students TALK”. https://cripvideoproductions.tumblr.com/post/189108164086/video-interviewhttps://cripvideoproductions.tumblr.com/post/189483544466/video-interview-2
Tim Snoha, John Diodato, Izabela Ginda, Betty Lewin and myself from “A Stroke Of Endurance” participated as well as Daniel Liriano from the films “Only Those Who Limp Allowed” and “Crips Not Creeps”. It was so nice to have my actors input. We had a mix of my disabled and able bodied performers presenting together in a panel with a documentary like style. Many of the questions were either disability or media related like what movies we liked, and how we met each other. Some of the actors talked about how they originally found my casting calls for my films on this blog. Tim Snoha mentioned “Inclusion In The Arts” which has since been disbanded and shut down unfortunately.
During the second of the video recorded presentations for “Students Talk” we got into a more serious discussion of instances where my actors had been discriminated against for being disabled, instances where my able bodied performers saw disabled people they knew having their privacy violated, and what each performer thought of terms like “Differently Abled” and “Disabled”. Some of the answers surprised me, I learned a lot of good new things, and I was reminded how wonderful it was to work with these individuals! Some of the student audience shared their own disability related experiences and really connected well with us.
Super special thanks to Mary Lynn Navarro, Tim Snoha, John Diodato, Izabela Ginda, Betty Lewin, and Daniel Liriano as well as everyone else involved in all the presenations for such a fabulous experience!

On December 4th we shot more interview footage for the series “Students TALK” for Professor Mary Lynn Navarro of Kingsborough Community College. https://cripvideoproductions.tumblr.com/post/189108164086/video-interview https://cripvideoproductions.blogspot.com/2019/11/video-interview-and-presentations.html We got some great footage and got to go further into our onscreen discussion. I talked a bit more about “A Stroke Of Endurance” and “Only Those Who Limp Allowed”. I was asked about disability and sports. I was also asked about how and why I hire disabled actors and how I feel about able bodied actors portraying disabled characters in media. We discussed disability and relationships. We have been meeting with Mary Lynn Navarro throughout December to discuss film editing, and how the collaboration between her own productions and Crip Video Productions will continue in 2020 and beyond.
“Students TALK” has NOT been released yet, but we at Crip Video Productions will notify our fans when it is released. “Students TALK” is NOT owned by Crip Video Productions. It is a collaboration only.
Super special thanks to Mary Lynn Navarro and her students. I have full legal permission from Mary Lynn Navarro to write this blog post.

On November 14th I(Margot) had the honor of being interviewed on camera by Professor Navarro of Kingsborough Community College and her wonderful journalism class for their video cast series called “students TALK” about my films and disability issues. We covered a wide range of topics like my mission as a filmmaker, disability representation in media, and college accessibility. I mostly talked about my film “Crips Not Creeps” because that film is Professor Navarro’s favorite. The students were very engaged and asked fantastic questions like whether I would like to see a disabled Disney Princess created in the future. I was thrilled thats many questions were asked. I was able to pass along some of the knowledge I gained of film editing and camera operation to Professor Navarro and her students as we went long. The interview has NOT been released yet!!! When this interview gets released we will let all of our Crip Video Productions fans know where and how to watch it.
Super special thanks to “students TALK” and Professor Navarro for this wonderful opportunity to reach a wider audience! We have full legal permission from Professor Navarro to write this part of the blog post!
I spoke to another class a few days after. On November 19th, 2019 I was invited to speak to a class studying disorders and education. I showed the trailer for “Crips Not Creeps” and part of the blooper video for “A Stroke Of Endurance”. I told the class the meaning and backstory around the terms “Crip” “Super Crip” and “inspiration p#rn” as they relate to disability. I told the class how a fan of “A Stroke Of Endurance” recently thought one of my disabled actors in that film, was able bodied because she did not understand that some actors with disabilities have invisible disabilities rather than outwardly obvious disabilities to explain the term “invisible disability”. One student asked if I took medication and/or supplements for Cerebral Palsy. One student asked if Cerebral Palsy was a progressive disease(it’s not). Another student asked how people with Cerebral Palsy who can walk, usually learn to walk as young children.
