Dominick Evans
Filmmaker, Consultant on Disability & LGBTQIA Representation in Hollywood/Video Games, FilmDis Founder, Twitch Streamer
Dom Evans (they/he) is a multiply disabled (SMA, OCD, ADD, anxiety, chronic pain), non-binary, trans, queer filmmaker, writer, gamer, streamer, film scholar, dad, and nerd. They have a BFA in Film and also studied political science. In 2014, they founded the Twitter chat #FilmDis, a discussion on disability representation, which has evolved into FilmDis, a media monitoring organization that offers a multitude of services.
On Twitch, Evans typically plays games laying down due to chronic pain which makes it painful to sit in his wheelchair for hours. Evans streams four days a week with their partner, Ashtyn. Through gaming, they have fought for the inclusion of disabled people on Twitch and in other aspects of gaming culture. His hope is that one-day Twitch will include a disability tag.
As a prolific public speaker, Evans has spoken at events around the world, including two years at New York Comic Con and in Australia. Since 2019, heβs been working with major studios out of Hollywood, with the hope of creating accessible spaces and opportunities for disabled people in the industry.
