The Black List, GM Incubator Fund Unveil New Writer-Driven Shorts Program Spotlighting Diverse Filmmakers
deadline.comThe 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.
