AXS MAP

AXS Lab, Inc. (www.axslab.org) is a registered non-profit (501c3) with a mandate to empower the disability community through media production and education. The major programs are (1) the production of a feature length film called ‘When I Walk’ and (2) the development and marketing of AXS Map (www.axsmap.com) a suite of new media tools designed to empower communities and people with disabilities to map accessibility of the built-environment.

Accomplishments to-date include securing a broadcast agreement for the feature-length film, “When I Walk”, which will air on primetime PBS (with 2 million plus viewers) in 2014. Various grants were also secured to fund the production of the film from the following funders: ITVS (PBS), Canada Council for the Arts, and Telefilm Canada. Additional support for the project AXS Map was provided by Nathan Cummings Foundation, Fledgling Fund, Google Earth via Tides Foundation, and Telefilm Canada.
