Breaking Character is casting for Season 2. The AMI docuseries is the first Canadian documentary series to explore the entertainment industry from the perspective of performers with disabilities. It comes at a critical time when the industry has started to recognize disability as the missing link of inclusivity. We want to be there to capture the ups and downs and show the various stages of the journey. 

Our message to viewers about performers with disabilities is simple: the talent is there; now it’s time to connect the talent to opportunities.
