GLAAD and the Black List unveiled the second annual GLAAD List, full of “the most promising unmade Lgbtq-inclusive film scripts,” Saturday evening at the Sundance Film Festival.
The Black List is an annual survey of Hollywood executives’ favorite unproduced screenplays, while the GLAAD List operates differently: Instead of relying on a survey, it is curated by GLAAD, the world’s largest lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and queer media advocacy organization. The organization evaluates potential films based on a list of standards including whether they fairly and accurately portrays the Lgbtq community and what each film’s potential impact is.

Exclusive: During Sundance, Jeremy Blacklow, Director of Entertainment Media at GLAAD and The Black List’s Kate Hagen revealed the second annual catalog for the GLAAD List which is a roster of the most promising unmade Lgbtq-inclusive film scripts.
From stories about Tennessee Williams to the bohemian ‘80s arts scene in NYC to a family fighting for survival as the world might be ending, the scripts on The GLAAD List represent the type of stories that GLAAD would like to see studios producing. With the proper attention, and with the collaboration of the right directors and actors, these scripts show tremendous promise and should one day become films that will both entertain audiences and change hearts and minds around the world.

Slamdance has awarded its grand prize for screenwriting to Tamra Teig and Michael Lipoma for their feature screenplay “The Fall.”
The festival announced a dozen prizes Thursday night during a ceremony hosted by Writers Guild of America West across feature film, horror/thriller, TV pilot and short film categories. Slamdance awarded more than $16,000 to winners across all categories.
“The Fall” is a historical drama set in East Berlin in 1989, where a single mother is forced to become a spy to save her son after he’s framed for murder. Her act of revenge, woven into historic events, leads to the fall of the Berlin Wall.
“With over 4,200 submissions this year, our judges were challenged by a wealth of exciting new writers to choose from,” said Slamdance president Peter Baxter. “Many plugged into the passion and concern around socially conscious themes our world is currently dealing with in raw, fun and unique ways.
