Friday 13 December saw Lancaster University play host to the beginning of production for a film based on our findings from the Inclusive Remote and Hybrid Working Study. Envisioned as a way to allow participants to discuss in their own words how working in a remote or hybrid way allows them to better balance their careers with their disabilities, filming involved each participant discussing these issues individually, before a group discussion between all of them together chaired by Dr Calum Carson. Project leader Dr Paula Holland also filmed a section highlighting some of our main findings. Production of the film now moves to the digital sphere, with remote working participants filming their own sections over the coming months to be integrated with the in-person scenes in the finished film. The film is being directed and produced by Diverse Media, a specialist disabled-led creative productive house which you can find out more about here.

The film will be available in full in Spring 2025, so watch this space!
