EXCLUSIVE: Meko Winbush, the Season 1 winner of Project Greenlight: A New Generation, has signed with Magnolia Entertainment for management.

A Max revival of HBO’s 2000s reality series that had up-and-coming filmmakers compete for the chance to helm their first feature, A New Generation specifically focused at launch on diverse, female filmmakers, having been shepherded by Miramax and Issa Rae’s production company Hoorae, with Kumail Nanjiani and Gina Prince-Bythewood joining Rae as mentors.

Winbush’s victory on the series led to her directing Gray Matter, a supernatural thriller scripted by Phil Gelatt (Love, Death & Robots), which debuted on Max in July.

Pic centers on Aurora (Mia Isaac), who all her life has been told that she and her mother possess dangerous superhuman abilities.
