Inevitable Foundation, a non-profit organization that invests in disabled writers and filmmakers, has announced its 2025 Accelerate Fellows: Anna Thorup, writing partners Chris & Charlie Frazier, and writing partners Zach Anner & Josh Flanagan.
Supported by Netflix's Fund for Creative Equity, the Accelerate Fellowship is a six-month rewriting sprint that gives disabled film and television writers $40,000 grants and bespoke mentorship to develop a film or television spec script. Through writers groups, one-on-one mentorship, guidance from the Inevitable Foundation staff, and access to leading film and television writers, the program offers disabled writers everything they need to get their script ready to take to market.
“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,” said Richie Siegel and Marisa Torelli-Pedevska, Co-Founders of Inevitable Foundation.
The new cohort joins 14 previously awarded Accelerate Fellows, who have received a combined $560,000 in unrestricted funding since 2021.
Since 2021, Inevitable Foundation has supported over 150 disabled writers, filmmakers, and podcasters via its Accelerate Fellowship, Elevate Collective, and Emergency Relief Fund, and facilitated hundreds of general meetings for disabled screenwriters through its Concierge.
