Inevitable Foundation, the non-profit advocating on behalf of the disabled filmmaking community, has named those set to participate in their inaugural Visionary Fellowship, a year-long program affording disabled filmmakers the funding, mentorship and community they need to make a short film and leverage it into their debut feature.

They are Zayre Ferrer, Monica Lucas, Filipe Coutinho, Alys Murray, and Katherine Craft. Through the fellowship, participants will each have access to $55,000 in funding, including a production grant to produce their short film with an experienced crew, an unrestricted grant to support the Fellow over the course of the program, as well as access to health insurance, marketing support, and funds for travel and access needs.

The Fellowship also includes mentorship and workshops from industry leaders, opportunities to collaborate with other filmmakers on set, community building within the Fellowship cohort, and an industry-focused short film showcase that will include creative executives, agents, and managers.

Said Inevitable Foundation co-founders Richie Siegel and Marisa Torelli-Pedevska, “We are thrilled to name these incredible Visionary Fellows for the program’s inaugural cohort.
