“The best business plan has always been a great screenplay, and we’re excited to help Tubi find five to make into films for their large and growing audience to enjoy,” said Franklin Leonard, founder of the Black List. “Tubi has done a particularly savvy thing with the kinds of movies they’re targeting and supporting 200 writers in getting access to the Black List site at no cost to them.”
Tubi offers viewers the world’s largest content library, which now exceeds 225,000 movies and TV episodes, approx 300 FAST channels. Tubi has committed to a content strategy that showcases diverse voices and stories for young and multicultural audiences, and this partnership with the Black List is one of many avenues in which Tubi is bringing in new, underrepresented storytellers to the platform.
The Black List will be executive producing all five films, and will be collaborating closely with Tubi throughout the entirety of the program. Writers around the world over the age of 18 are welcome to submit their work, but all submitted scripts must be in English.

Additional details about how to apply for a Tubi fee waiver will be available on the program submission page on blcklst.com. All fee waivers will be distributed at the discretion of Tubi and the Black List.
