With just over 2% of the characters depicted in film disabled and recent research indicating that poor representation for those living with a disability could have an impact on mental health, it should be evident that disability is an area of on-screen representation that is in need of immediate attention. I highlighted, in an article last year, the role short film can play in making improvements to diversity and representation in the filmmaking industry and once again it's in the forefront of my mind after watching today's selected film We're Too Good For This, directed by Missy Malek.

The tale of three friends, each with a different disability, looking to get revenge on an abusive step-brother, We're Too Good For This eschews the usual over-emotional award-bait representation of disabled people for something much more gritty and authentic. Set on a London estate, the 12-minute short follows the trio as they enlist the help of a deaf friend to steal drugs from a ruthless local dealer. When things don't go to plan, the group find theirselves in a desperate situation. - S/W Curator, Rob Munday
