Applications for The Disruptors, the annual fellowship for emerging television writers of color who identify as either trans, gender nonbinary, undocumented / formerly undocumented, or disabled, are now open for the 2022 program season.
Taking place from August – November this year, The Disruptors will offer mentorship, compensation, community, and a virtual and in-person space, when it is safe to do so, for fellows to create the materials they need to enter the industry.
According to the Annenberg Inclusion Initiative at the University of Southern California, 91 percent of television show creators are white, and 81 percent are men. The Disruptors began in 2020 to shift this landscape to include creatives of color from different backgrounds and to normalize narratives that have historically been underrepresented in television, starting with investing in these screenwriters from the very beginning of their careers.
Co-created by Julio Salgado and Kat Evasco, The Disruptors is a program of The Center for Cultural Power and was designed to address a critical gap in the Hollywood talent pipeline and provide training, support, time, and connections for Black, Indigenous, and writers of color, who otherwise don’t have access to these critical resources at the start of their careers. Masterclass instructors and mentors include Shantira Jackson (Big Mouth, The Amber Ruffin Show), Zackery Alexzander Stephens (Our Flag Means Death, Q-Force), Victor Dueñas (East Los High, BUNK’D), Zenzele Price (WeCrashed, Kindred), and Jennifer Yale (Dexter, Outlander). This year’s partners supporting the program include Final Draft, Popshift, and Young Entertainment Activists.
