Join AMI, Showrunner Dylan Wertz, and on-screen talent Daniel Ennett — a quadruple amputee — and his best friend–turned–first-time caregiver Frederick Kroetsch, as they share what it’s really like being both the faces and the filmmakers behind Crip Trip. They’ll reveal how they’re keeping Season 2 of their hit road trip series fresh, fearless, and full of purpose — from working authentically with the disabled community (and steering clear of “inspiration porn”) to shining a light on caregivers and driving real social change. This session dives into how bold, inclusive storytelling can entertain, challenge, and truly make an impact.
