About the Organisation
Inevitable Foundation is a non-profit that’s funding and mentoring mid-career disabled screenwriters. Our goal is to close the disability representation gap in film/TV: Disabled people make up 20%+ of the population but represent only 2% of characters on screen and less than 1% of writers behind the screen. The lack of disability representation on-screen is directly linked to the lack of representation off-screen. By empowering disabled screenwriters with the business, writing and networking skills they need to build long-term careers, we’re helping put more disabled creators in positions of power, turning them from employees to employers. This will naturally create a bounty of opportunities for disabled talent on- and off-screen, which will unleash authentic disability narratives across film and television.
Our Screenwriting Fellowship gives mid-career disabled screenwriters $40,000, bespoke mentorship and a range of connections to develop their own work and build thriving careers.
