Fifty-four Academy Awards and 267 nominations demonstrate the Black List's significant impact, becoming the go-to index for emerging screenwriters since its launch in 2005. Franklin Leonard illustrates the platform's role, stating, 'I wanted to find a way for that to benefit everybody,' highlighting the desire to elevate stories from outside Hollywood.
With the expansion into publishing, Black List now welcomes fiction manuscripts to connect writers with industry leaders. Leonard shares, 'I was loath to jump into it... It's not a great look to be like, 'I'm from Hollywood and I'm here to save you.'' This indicates a thoughtful approach to new ventures.
