Disability Belongs Reveals 2025 TV Writing Intensive Fellows


Disability Belongs will hold a TV Writing Intensive from June 20 to 27

“I participated in the Disability Belongs ™ Entertainment Lab in 2020 just after becoming a wheelchair user, and it was the first time I truly felt included in a creative space,” Diana Romero, who previously served as a writers’ assistant for the TV series Good Trouble and 4400, said in a statement to Deadline. For even greater networking opportunities, the 2025 cohort will also be able to interact with 10 alumni from previous program iterations: Michael Busza, Katherine Craft, David Dineen-Porter, Liz Galalis, Jeremy Hsing, Teresa Jusino, Melissa Kong, Monica Cecilia Lucas, Sandrene Mathews, and Ava Xiao-Lin Rigelhaupt. Alumni have gone on to find jobs at major studios — including Netflix, Disney, and Sony Pictures Entertainment — premiere work at SXSW and join programs at the Sundance Institute, among other wins.
