Filming is in British Columbia, but U.S. citizens can be admitted for that purpose. I am also sending this to Paul Gabias so he can pass it on to our friends in the Canadian NFB.

She or someone else at BLIND, Inc. will be contacting you about it. It looks like you are doing a pretty broad search for the right person, so I wanted to expand your reach. I can help you reach out to the 50,000 members of the National Federation of the Blind, which has as one of its interests the inclusion of blind people in films and TV. My contact information is as follows: <a href="mailto:dickblind@gmail.com">dickblind@gmail.com</a> or 612-719-0753. You can email, call or text me. I will also attempt to call you. One question I have: if the filming is in Vancouver, B.C., will the Canadian government allow a U.S. citizen to participate in the filming?</span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto"><span style="color:black">Best wishes, </span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto"><span style="color:black">Dick Davis, Chair <br>National Federation of the Blind Employment Committee</span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto"><span style="color:black"> </span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto"><span style="color:black">From: Morgan Robbins <<a href="mailto:morgan@engine.cc"><span style="color:blue">morgan@engine.cc</span></a>> </span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto"><span style="color:black">Date: 11/18/20 12:40 PM (GMT-06:00) </span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto"><span style="color:black">To: <a href="mailto:info@blindinc.org"><span style="color:blue">info@blindinc.org</span></a> </span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto"><span style="color:black">Subject: The Midnight Club/Netflix Series </span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto"><span style="color:black"> </span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto">Hi, </p><p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto"> </p><p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto">My name is Morgan Robbins & I’m a Casting Associate for a new Netflix show called The Midnight Club.
