A New Standard for Identifying Execution-Ready Screenplays
LOS ANGELES, CA, UNITED STATES, January 23, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ — FilmIQ™ today announced the launch of The White List, a curated list of unproduced screenplays that have met a measurable standard of execution, benchmarked against patterns discovered researching thousands of produced films.
Unlike traditional screenplay lists that rely on executive surveys, nominations, or popularity-based voting, The White List is built on FilmIQ’s proprietary knowledge base, data set and grading system developed in collaboration with NoQueryLetter.com™.
Scripts earn placement on The White List by scoring above a defined quality threshold. Placement indicates that a screenplay has passed a rigorous executional benchmark and is cleared for consideration by FilmIQ and its production partners for funding, development, or packaging.
“The industry doesn’t have a talent problem; it has a filtering problem. Who has the time and staff to read it all?” said a FilmIQ spokesperson. “The White List exists to reduce noise, remove bias, and ensure that execution-ready material gets fast-tracked.”
The White List is not a contest, a prediction of taste or genre trends. It functions as a clearance system allowing qualified screenplays to bypass traditional gatekeeping mechanisms and reach decision-makers more efficiently.
The list will be updated on a recurring basis, with major releases announced publicly and interim updates reflected within the FilmIQ platform. FilmIQ plans to release a white paper on its research findings in the fourth quarter.
