It depends. You'd have a hard time in a lot of jobs, but as more and more of the work of making a movie is done on computers, it will be easier for disabled people to handle that: so long as you can handle a keyboard and mouse you can probably be an editor or sound editor, for example.

For that matter, producer would probably work, though unless you know people who can provide you with finance you might have a hard time getting there without working your way up through the crappy jobs that involve a lot of running around.

I have an important question to ask:

Is it possible for a partially disabled person to work the Film Industry?

Yes.

Of course there will be jobs you can't do. If you don't drive then being a driver is out. If you can't carry heavy goods then a grip, camera assistant or juicer may be out.

No reason why you can't be an office assistant, work in the art department as a coordinator, a script supervisor or in the casting process. With as assistant to do the lifting and driving you could be a props person, craft service, set decorator.

If you have the stamina you could be a second second director, still photographer, location manager, sound recordist or make up artist. I see nothing keeping you from writing and directing either.

Then there's post production: editor, sound or dialogue editor, mixer, Foley and ADR recordist, titles designer and even the post production supervisor.
