Visionary Fellow Kat Craft wants to "highlight aspects of Texas culture that aren’t always thought of together- feral hogs, strong queer culture, and campy horror-comedy." Kat's short film, Hog Queen, is now in post-production before its release later this year.

In honor of Disability Pride Month, Keslow Camera is excited to announce our sponsorship of @inevitablefdn, a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization. The mission of Inevitable Foundation is to invest in disabled writers and filmmakers so they can achieve artistic and financial freedom and use film and television to destigmatize disability and mental health globally. This mission supports their vision of creating a world where disabled people are valued both on and off-screen. Industry wide, less than 1% of filmmakers are disabled, despite making up over 25% of the U.S. population. This is where Inevitable Foundation has stepped in. Through their efforts, over $2 million dollars have been invested in entertainment and nonprofit disabled workers. 55% of their grantees are women and nonbinary people, 45% are BIPOC and 60% are LGBTQ+. Through their Visionary Fellowship, supported by Netflix, Inevitable Foundation has provided disabled filmmakers with funding, mentorship, and community as they embark on a short film to leverage into their first feature film. Keslow Camera is thrilled to support Inevitable Foundation across a number of its programs, starting by providing our top-tier cinema cameras, lenses, and accessories to five disabled filmmakers and their innovative short film projects, premiering later this year: “Beware C*ckblocking Ghosts” (Dir: Alys Murray/DP: Grant Bell) “Double Birthday Christmas Wedding” (Dir: Monica Lucas/DP: Rafael Gomez) “Bembe” (Dir: Zayre Ferrer/DP: Daniel Patterson) “The Hog Queen” (Dir: Katherine Craft/DP: Sebastian Valdivieso) “8 Tracks” (Dir: Filipe Coutinho/ DP: Garett Nicholson) Keslow Camera recognizes and supports the work of Inevitable Foundation and disabled filmmakers across the industry.

“A lot of our work has been about helping people prepare for the opportunity, but we weren’t getting control of the opportunity. So for us, it’s a question of, ‘Do you want to be on the sidelines, or in the game?’ We want to be in the game.” Read more: insidephilanthropy.com/home/…

In June, we produced five short films written and directed by our Visionary Fellows, each film a testament to the filmmaker's outstanding creative work. The Fellows now enter the post-production phase of the program, as they prepare to share these projects with the world.
