Choreographer / filmmaker Heather Shaw and Dark Room Ballet Founder Krishna Washburn, are co-directors of Telephone Film - a disability arts film project, transforming the world's perspective on accessibility and allowing the full inclusion of blind and visually impaired people, while simultaneously educating audience members about audio description as an art form; creating a new paradigm of anti-ableist artistic expression.

The screendance documentary is the first of its kind, featuring diverse disabled and non-disabled artists who have come together to prove that: dance is visceral, not merely visual.
