My important goal is to work in a company based in film and tv to show my confidence and passion.

    Hi @chantelokpara1 and welcome to the community! That's a great goal! Have you done any work like that before?

    I wonder if there are any volunteering opportunities in that area that could get you some experience. Are you a creative person yourself? I've been making animated music videos for my friends and family which is letting me be creative and making people smile!

    Hey! I would love more creative work too. I signed up to a modelling agency a couple years ago and got some odd jobs that I really enjoyed. I was in the Scope spirit film last year which I really enjoyed being a part of and made me super confident. I’ve hardly had any work since then but keep trying 😃

    Amazing @AlexRobson 😄 I used to work with somebody who did a side job as an Extra in various TV and films! It always sounded so much fun, have you looked into that?

    thanks @Mary_Scope 😃. I’ve looked at extra work but unsure how/who to sign up for it being a wheelchair user and what not if that makes sense?

    @chantelokpara1 Having a goal or dream and knowing you want to make it a reality is the beginning. I recently interviewed Ciaran Fitzgerald, a disabled playwright, actor and presenter. Ciaran has cerebral palsy and uses his lived experience in arts and culture. I've included the link to our interview discussing his next play.

    Good luck.
