The power of film: John Schaffer's advocacy for disability awareness

With a goal of sharing the often unheard voices of the disability community, filmmaker John Schaffer has created a collection of short films that educate the audience by highlighting disabled individuals and their stories. His film company, Wild Asperagus Productions, has produced nine films, most being six to ten minutes long, as well as several fire science videos. Schaffer’s most recent film, titled “Picturing Inclusivity," will premiere in Flagstaff at 7 p.m. on Feb. 10 at Theatrikos.

Schaffer’s journey to filmmaking was not linear, as he thought of it as only a hobby when he went to college for the first time and chose to major in political science. He shared that he sometimes wished he studied film but does not see it as a missed opportunity.
