The Inevitable Foundation has unveiled its five 2025 Accelerate Fellows.

Those participants are Anna Thorup, writing partners Chris and Charlie Frazier, and writing partners Zach Anner and Josh Flanagan.

The Inevitable Foundation’s Accelerate Fellowship is a six-month intensive that gives disabled film and television writers $40,000 grants and bespoke mentorship to develop a film or television spec script. With the aim of getting these scripts ready to take to market, the program provides writers groups, one-on-one mentorship, guidance from the Inevitable Foundation staff. The program is supported by Netflix’s Fund for Creative Equity.

“We’re very excited to welcome Zach, Josh, Chris, Charlie, and Anna as our 2025 Accelerate Fellows. This cohort of accomplished writers demonstrates the expansive talent of disabled creatives and we can’t wait to help them take their projects to the next level,” Richie Siegel and Marisa Torelli-Pedevska, Co-Founders of Inevitable Foundation said in a statement Friday.

This new cohort joins 14 writers who have received a combined $560,000 in unrestricted funding since the program launched in 2021.

Over the past four years, the Inevitable Foundation has supported over 150 disabled writers, filmmakers and podcasters via its Accelerate Fellowship, Elevate Collective, and Emergency Relief Fund. It has also facilitated hundreds of general meetings for disabled screenwriters through its Concierge.
