The Black List and the GM Incubator Fund have today announced the launch of a new Writer-Driven Shorts Program, which will provide two emerging, diverse filmmakers with $100,000 grants enabling production on shorts based on their feature script
and the GM Incubator Fund will grant fee waivers for one free month of hosting and two free evaluations on blcklst.com to the first 200 writers from traditionally underrepresented communities who apply.
While projects in all genres are eligible for consideration, films that showcase sustainability, electrification and/or diversity — in alignment with GM’s sustainable, all-electric future and aspiration to be the most inclusive company in the world — will be highly considered. Scripts with scenes of excessive violence, illegal drug or substance abuse, car crashes, unsafe driving and/or explicit sexual acts, however, will not.
Added GM’s Director of Multicultural Marketing and Development, Tarshena Armstrong, “The GM Incubator Fund focuses on making strategic investments that provide underrepresented communities opportunities to aid in innovative content and storytelling. Working withWriter-Driven Shorts Program, we look to make a meaningful impact within local communities while fostering equitable representation.”
The relationship between the Black List, the company providing an annual survey of Hollywood executives’ favorite unproduced screenplays, and General Motors was brokered by UTA Entertainment & Culture Marketing, the brand consulting division of United Talent Agency that represents GM.
