What Is It?
The Latinx House is proud to announce that we are accepting the 2nd round of applications for the Bad Robot and The Black List initiative to provide writers from historically underrepresented communities with access to the Black List website (blcklst.com). Participating writers will have the opportunity to receive one free professional screenplay evaluation and one free month of hosting on the site.
This program provides writers with access, opportunities, and feedback for their original work that they may not otherwise be able to acquire.
Fee waivers will be distributed once a quarter and will expire 30 days after the end of the quarter, so writers should ensure that they are ready to upload a completed screenplay to blcklst.com before requesting a waiver. Writers may also be asked to fill out a brief survey as part of their participation in this program.
Who is eligible?
Writers from historically underrepresented communities, as defined by current WGAW guidelines. Interested writers should have a completed feature film, original pilot, or original play or musical script ready to host on blcklst.com when applying for a fee waiver.
