Exclusive: 2022 finalists for the Latinx List, showcasing top works by up-and-coming Latinx screenwriters, have been unveiled by The Latin Tracking Board, Nalip, the Untitled Latinx Project, and The Black List.
The batch of selected scripts consists of five original pilots and six original features. Among the finalists are Daniel F. Pérez (2096) and Makana Lani (Contingent), who have received WGA-minimum script deals from Netflix, through the Latinx List’s partnership with the streamer announced last summer.
“By providing this opportunity, the Latinx List is kicking the door wide open for emerging writers, and I’m humbled to be selected among such talented creatives,” said Lani. “As a queer, underrepresented writer, I’m thrilled to be writing a script for Netflix–a company that’s truly following through on their mission of championing diverse voices.”
“I’m thrilled that 2096 is part of this year’s Latinx List, and so excited to develop with Netflix!

Jack And Dean Of All Trades may have ended after two seasons when Fullscreen shuttered its eponymous subscription service, but beloved YouTube duo Jack Howard and Dean Dobbs are getting back on the saddle with a brand new project -- which is being developed through the Sundance Institute and YouTube’s New Voices Lab.

Howard and Dobbs will be joined by other participants, including Pakistani-American documentarian Sindha Agha, comedy duo Anna Salinas and Edgar Momplaisir, and YouTuber Andy ‘Goldentusk’ Goldenberg.
