Lights ON
Who We Are
Lights ON is Queensland’s first disability-led, accessibility-first on-camera training program.
Created by Liza Brock (casting director, creative producer, disability advocate) and delivered with industry mentors, we empower disabled creatives to step confidently in front of the camera — not just as participants, but as professionals shaping the future of film, TV and media.
This is more than training. It’s a movement for authentic representation, a pathway into the entertainment industry, and a legacy project building toward Brisbane 2032.
