CAPE & The Black List Returns With 10 Feature Screenplay Finalists


Ten Asian & Pacific Islander screenwriters have been selected for their work in a variety of genres by the Black List & CAPE

Drawing from all avenues of the AANHPI community, the deep talent bench of the 2024 list features scripts about gunslingers, the aftermath of 9/11, Korean folk horror, the private origins of pop hits and awakening on a 1980s Irish strawberry farm. An inquisitive girl untangles fact from fiction in her grandpa’s fantastical stories that mask the brutal realities he faced while serving in the 442nd RCT, the segregated unit of Japanese American soldiers in WWII. After her fiancé rejects her at the altar and wants a year to sow his wild oats, a timid woman embarks on a quest to sleep her way through 22 men like Catherine the Great to gain experience and power – but will she find love in the process?
