The Black List is an entertainment platform that connects moviemakers with strong, unmade script ideas, serving as a real-time recommendation engine and screening service for the industry. Its approach centers on surfacing widely regarded scripts from among thousands evaluated by a large pool of film executives, with the aim of helping writers gain visibility and helping producers discover compelling material. The company supports both writers seeking discovery and industry professionals looking for credible, vetted projects, positioning itself within the feature film development ecosystem. Based in the United States, The Black List traces its origins to a survey conducted in 2005 by Franklin Leonard, and has since expanded to include a membership model and a global writer submission process, complemented by collaborations and partnerships that broaden the platform’s reach. Recent developments include partnerships with major publishers and organizations to integrate expanded titles and support initiatives in the broader entertainment and literary spaces.
