On Nov. 12, at The Linwood Dunn Theater in Los Angeles, Inevitable Foundation’s Visionary Fellows—Filipe Coutinho (8 Tracks), Monica Lucas (Double Birthday Christmas Wedding), Zayre Ferrer (Bembé), Alys Murray (Beware C*ckblocking Ghosts) and Katherine Craft (The Hog Queen)—premiered their short films to an intimate audience of creative community and industry members, including representatives from Netflix, Disney, 20th Century, Shondaland, Mattel, United Talent, DPD Casting, and more.
The night was the culmination of more than 12 months of work and marked a major milestone for the accomplished filmmakers, made possible by hundreds of contributors. That includes crew, cast, fellowship mentors and speakers, and foundation staff. The showcase also marked the first step in a larger journey for all five fellows and Inevitable as we continue our work making transformative investments in disabled writers and filmmakers.
