Three strangers shape each other's fate: two disabled girls with uncontrollable magic, and the unpaid intern of the cult that’s coming after them. Follow the inversion of pervasive disability tropes — victim, villain, supercrip — in this magical-chaos allegory of illness by disabled filmmakers.

Mission Statement

Stories have power over our beliefs, and our mission is to help everyone believe that disabled lives are worth living. Instead of breaking a glass ceiling in a building never designed for us to be in, we’re building our own (both on screen and off) with joy, health, and shitty jokes.

The Story

Content Warning: blood + swords + fire + fuckery

For several years we had planned to pitch Supercrip like any other TV show in the industry…and then we learned firsthand that the industry is not accessible. There’s a reason why less than 1% of TV writers are disabled, 12-hour days are standardized, and 95% of disabled roles go to abled actors: it is because ultimately, when time is money, studios are hesitant to pay for the patience required to be accessible. (source)


Getting greenlit is hard enough as it is, without also having to fight for disabled actors and crew to be employed in a production that wouldn’t be ours anymore.



That’s why this is a 100% crowdfunded project, and why the episodes will be posted for anyone to watch for free on YouTube. That’s why we’ve pioneered an animation workflow that prioritizes the health of our disabled creators. That’s why we don’t just believe in our story’s message, we live it. This is not just a crowdfund, it is proof of community-built accessibility, and all of the joy and health that comes with it.
