About The Black List

The Black List is an online community where moviemakers find scripts to make and writers to write them, and screenwriters find moviemakers to make their scripts and employ them.

Begun in 2005 as an annual survey of several dozen executives' favorite unproduced screenplays, The Black List has grown to survey over 500 executives each year (virtually 100% of Hollywood's studio system's executive corps). Over 250 Black List scripts have been produced into films grossing over $18 billion in worldwide box office. Black List scripts have won 30 Academy Awards - including three of the last five Best Pictures ("Slumdog Millionaire," "The King's Speech" and "Argo") and seven of the last 12 screenwriting awards ("Juno," "Slumdog Millionaire," "The King's Speech," "The Social Network," "The Descendants," "Argo" and "Django Unchained") - from 180 nominations.

In October 2012, The Black List launched an online database of every screenplay circulating Hollywood and all those submitted by English language screenwriters from around the world. Since its launch, it has hosted more than 10,000 screenplays and completed more than 14,000 script evaluations. More than 40 writers have found representation at major agencies and management companies and more than 30 writers have sold their screenplays as a direct result of introductions made via the site.

At any given time, more than 2,200 screenplays are actively hosted for perusal by thousands of film industry professionals, ranging from agency assistants to studio and network heads.
