A new class of fellows has been anointed at Prelude.

Tender Pictures has selected the second round of “early career storytellers” for the fellowship program, which was founded and is led by Tender Pictures’ Abbi Jacobson and Mieka Tennant. Launched last year, Prelude is designed to focus on “talent discovery and equity, supporting emerging writers, directors, and producers with little to no industry experience,” per the production company.

The new class includes Nadira Amaris, Kimberly Divad, Alyssa Furtado, Izzy Garfinkel, T Green, Vanessa Gutierrez, Noura Jabir, Sarah Ngô, Sage Okolo and Haley Wang. The roster, comprised entirely of female-identifying and non-binary storytellers, was picked by a selection committee of industry leaders through a competitive, multi-stage review process.
