The Latine List

For the fourth year in a row, the Black List has partnered with the Latin Tracking Board and NALIP to create the Latine List, highlighting the very best in Latin-e/a/o/@ storytelling in film, television, and theater.

The final Latine List may include a combination of feature films, original pilots, and plays. Scripts from any genre are eligible for this partnership. Selected scripts will be written by at least one Latin-e/a/o/@ writer AND feature a Latine or Latin American character in a prominent role. Please note that the 2024 Latine List is open only to writers who have NOT been previously selected for a Latine List.

Filmmakers, writers, and playwrights are invited to submit a script for consideration by uploading it to the Black List website during the overall submission window, February 28, 2024 - July 1, 2024. Feature film, one-hour and half-hour pilot, and theatrical submissions will be considered for the Latine List.

Fee Waivers:

Update: as of 3/29/2024 all available fee waivers for the Latine List have been distributed. If you have not received one in the past year, we encourage you to explore our general fee waivers.

400 fee waivers are available to submitting writers thanks to AMC Networks! When submitting your script for Latine List consideration, you will be able to apply for one fee waiver per submitting writer.

Fee waivers will be equally distributed across all 2024 diversity lists and distributed at the discretion of diversity list partners, AMC Networks and the Black List. Please follow the link below for more information about how to apply for a diversity list fee waiver.
