GLAAD, the world\u2019s largest lesbian<\/a>, gay<\/a>, bisexual<\/a>, transgender, and queer (LGBTQ) media advocacy organization, in partnership with The Black List, an annual survey of Hollywood executives’ favorite unproduced screenplays, today announced The GLAAD List, a curated list of the most promising unmade LGBTQ-inclusive scripts in Hollywood that have been hosted on blcklst.com<\/a> or were included on the 2018 year-end annual Black List.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere is no more reputable source for discovering quality scripts in Hollywood than The Black List,\u201d said Jeremy Blacklow, GLAAD\u2019s Director of Entertainment Media. \u201cThe Black List\u2019s commitment to elevating marginalized voices in the film industry is unparalleled and GLAAD is excited to lock arms with them in helping bring diverse LGBTQ stories to Hollywood\u2019s attention.\u201d<\/p>\n

“The Black List is thrilled to be working with GLAAD to shine a spotlight on brilliant LGBTQ-inclusive scripts hosted on the Black List and beyond,\u201d said Franklin Leonard the Founder and CEO of The Black List. \u201cWe are even more excited by the prospect that this spotlight will vault these films toward production and into theaters around the country and the world, bringing with them a more LGBTQ-inclusive culture and society.”<\/p>\n

Methodology:<\/strong><\/u><\/p>\n

Unlike The Black List, an annual survey of Hollywood executives’ favorite unproduced screenplays, The GLAAD List is not voted upon via a survey; rather, it is curated by the staff of GLAAD based on a pool of the highest-rated scripts provided by The Black List which feature lesbian<\/a>, gay<\/a>, bisexual<\/a>, transgender, and\/or queer (LGBTQ) characters. A script may remain active on The Black List and The GLAAD List up until the first frame has been shot during production.<\/p>\n

Scripts, provided by The Black List, were evaluated by GLAAD using the following criteria:<\/p>\n

1. \u00a0\u00a0Fair, accurate and inclusive LGBTQ representation
2. \u00a0\u00a0Boldness and originality of the content
3. \u00a0\u00a0Potential impact of the media project
4. \u00a0\u00a0Overall quality of the written project
5. \u00a0\u00a0Passes the Vito Russo Test*<\/p>\n

GLAAD\u2019s selected scripts represent the most promising stories from the pool provided.<\/p>\n
