The Black List

overview

The Black List is an annual survey of the "most-liked" motion picture screenplays not yet produced. The website states that these are not necessarily "the best" screenplays, but rather "the most liked", since it is based on a survey of studio and production company executives.

Of the more than 1,000 screenplays The Black List has included since 2005, 440 have been produced as theatrical films, including Argo, American Hustle, Juno, The King's Speech, Slumdog Millionaire, Spotlight, The Revenant, The Descendants, and Hell or High Water.

For the 2021 edition of The Black List, my romantic comedy feature script IT WAS YOU was selected. The logline: With the future of Manhattan’s Chinatown at stake, a stubborn store clerk battles against an innovative CEO’s expansion plan, while both are unaware they’ve been falling in love with each other on a new, anonymous dating app.

IT WAS YOU is currently in development with Jon M. Chu (Crazy Rich Asians, In The Heights) and his production company Electric Somewhere Co.
