INEVITABLE FOUNDATION VISIONARY FELLOWSHIP: DEADLINE – JULY 31ST 2024
The Visionary Fellowship is a year-long program that invests in disabled filmmakers with the funding, mentorship, and community they need to make a short film and leverage it into their first feature film.
Disabled filmmakers have historically been drastically undervalued by the entertainment industry, and this program reverses that trend by providing significant resources to promising and highly-resourceful disabled writer/directors. The program is uniquely designed to cover the transition between making a short and preparing and packaging a debut feature, ensuring they have ample support to connect the dots between the two.
The Fellowship includes $55,000 in funding over the course of the program, including:
-
- $25,000 to produce a short film with an experienced crew
-
- A $15,000 unrestricted grant to support living expenses
-
- Up to $7,000 to provide health insurance for the course of the program
-
- Up to $2,500 to market the short film
-
- Up to $2,500 to support the Fellow’s access needs during the course of the program
-
- Up to $3,000 to cover travel costs to Los Angeles for the duration of filming and the short film showcase
