MODERATOR
Daniel Plagens
Writer, Humanitas Program Manager
As Humanitas’s Program Manager, Daniel oversees the Humanitas Prizes, New Voices Fellowship, College Screenwriting Awards, and the Groceries for Writers project while also handling other day-to-day administrative matters. He came to Humanitas after working for several years in the unscripted television and documentary worlds, and is a writer himself. He was recently a semifinalist for Filmmatic's Inroads Fellowship, and he was named to the University of Michigan Entertainment Coalition’s Blue List in 2020, a compilation of the school’s up-and-coming screenwriting alumni. When he isn't thinking about movies and TV, he's writing The Book of Jobbed, his weekly Substack newsletter about sports and the existential angst they cause.
