News: Black List Partners with Actor Josh Hutcherson to Find Screenwriters

Indigenous Media has launched just a new film incubator in partnership with actor/producer Josh Hutcherson (The Hunger Games, The Kids Are All Right) and Michelle Hutcherson, and they'll be using the Black List to find the filmmakers with whom to work.
Using the search capabilities of the Black List website, they are seeking young adult generation-defining screenplays — comedy, drama or thriller — featuring core characters in their late teens to late twenties.
For each selected screenplay, Indigenous Media will provide the writer(s) with financing to produce a short film based on the chosen script with the potential to fund or produce the feature-length version of the screenplay. Any script currently on the Black List or uploaded until January 17, 2016 is eligible for consideration.
To further power their search, Indigenous Media has generously agreed to reimburse the cost of up to 200 evaluations of scripts that meet their search criteria (limit one evaluation per script). After completing their read of each script, Black List readers will determine whether a script will receive a reimbursement.
