Beacon Films defines the screen industry in it's broadest sense; from those engaged in the process of film and TV productions at every level to individual videographers working as self-shooters; from feature films and high end drama, to productions for museums, galleries and corporate organisations.

In the spirit of 'nothing about us without us', at each meeting we survey attendees to find out what proportion identify as Deaf, Disabled and/or Neurodivergent.
