[games_access] Bay Area Gamers with Disabilities

[hinn at uiuc.edu]

Hi everyone,

I've received a request to forward this to the list:

TV Producers from KQED, the PBS station in San Francisco, are looking for Bay Area gamers (designers, developers and plain enthusiasts) with disabilities for a segment they are doing on video game accessibility. The segment will air on their new, weekly-airing science/environment/technology series, "Quest". The Quest production crew will be filming at the Game Developers Conference in San Francisco from March 5th thru March 9th, so a response at your earliest convenience would be greatly appreciated. Please contact KQED Associate Producer Sheraz Sadiq at 415-553-2856 or ssadiq(at)kqed.org to find out more about the project and share your story.

The producers have been working with me on getting access to our GDC sessions and talking with members who are going to be at GDC but the producers are also interested in talking with gamers with disabilities in the San Francisco, California area who are not going to GDC.

to believe that there are extraordinary 
things inside themselves, as well as 
others. i hope you can keep an open 
mind.
