MEET Anna Thorup
Screenwriter
Join us for an inspiring Leadership Talk with Anna Thorup (she/her), a rising screenwriter whose journey into entertainment began with a Make-A-Wish trip to the set of The Office when she was fourteen years old—an experience that ignited her passion for storytelling and shaped her path forward. A graduate of Emerson College, Anna has built a remarkable career from the ground up, working in support roles at DreamWorks Animation and Netflix before becoming a Writer’s Assistant on Best Foot Forward (Apple TV+), and ultimately transitioning to screenwriting full-time. She has since sold two half-hour pilots to ABC and written for acclaimed animated series on Netflix, Nickelodeon, Apple TV+, and PBS. In this conversation, Anna will share how she navigated the industry as both a creative and a disabled professional—and how programs like the Inevitable Foundation's Accelerate Fellowship are changing the landscape for disabled storytellers by offering more than just mentorship, but real, tangible support. Topics we’ll cover: - From Fan to Writer: How a childhood wish turned into a lifelong calling. - Breaking In: What Anna learned from working support staff jobs at major studios. - Writers’ Rooms and Representation: Her transition from Writer’s Assistant to staffed writer, and why authentic disability representation matters in storytelling. - Navigating the Animation World: Writing for multiple platforms and audiences—from preschool to primetime. - Sustaining a Creative Career: Balancing the business and creative sides of screenwriting. - Advice for Aspiring Writers: What she wishes she knew starting out. Whether you're an aspiring writer, a disabled creative, or someone simply looking to be inspired by resilience and purpose-driven storytelling, this is a conversation you won’t want to miss. Register and join us. Come prepared to ask questions and be inspired.
