Stan Clawson “Continues” on. A film first, the Paralyzed Veterans of America has released a new production that features 28 adaptive activities for individuals with spinal cord injuries. “Continue” is the first film to ever focus on the entire spectrum of recreational possibilities for newly-injured patients and others who are currently living with paralysis.
The film was directed and edited by Stan Clawson who has been filmmaking for over 15 years. Clawson studied film and video production at the University of Utah and has always had a passion for video and film that focuses on disability-related themes and characters. Stan currently oversees educational video production for the University of Utah as well as for his own company, T9-10 Productions. He has also taught introductory video production for the University of Utah’s Communication Department.
Clawson was injured in 1996 while rock climbing, sustaining a spinal cord injury. He has become highly involved with the disabled community, promoting disability awareness through speaking engagements and media. Clawson has worked as a volunteer and employee with the Paralympics, National Ability Center, and T.R.A.I.L.S. (Therapeutic Recreation and Independent Lifestyles), a Utah-based a program that specializes in recreation and active living for individuals with paralysis... all of which has earned him several awards, including the Utah Governor’s Points of Light Award for outstanding volunteer service and the American Bar Association’s LPM Law Video Award for a law school simulation documentary.
In 2011 Clawson was awarded the University of Utah’s Equity and Diversity Award for his work on “Continue” and for continually striving to advance disability awareness through media. Clawson has lived in Utah his entire life and enjoys handcycling, SCUBA diving and travel.

Team Colours member and Rutgers University alumna Santina Muha — winner of the Ms. Wheelchair New Jersey pageant and star of a new documentary — is an ardent advocate for casting people with “disabilities” in light of what is possible, not what can’t be done. Muha has a bone to pick with Glee. It’s not that she doesn’t watch the Fox network show, or enjoy it, or applaud the producers’ decision to create a character in a wheelchair. It’s just that the actor who plays that character doesn’t have a disability in real life, and that rankles Muha DC’06. “There are so many actors out there who really use wheelchairs and who are struggling to get parts,” she says. “It’s frustrating when one of those rare roles is given away to an actor who can walk.” Read the full story.
