Franklin Leonard – Founder – The Black List

Franklin is the reason that many of your favorite movies were made. He's the founder and CEO of The Black List, the saving grace for countless writers in Hollywood. Even if you aren't familiar with Franklin or his company, you have definitely seen the fruits of his labor. The Black List is a survey of the most liked but unproduced screenplays each year. It gives another chance to great stories that have been overlooked. This recognition has brought 400 films and counting to the big screen, including Juno, Spotlight and Argo. Franklin is an advocate for screenwriters and has been awarded by The Writers Guild of America for his work. He's helped bring life to extraordinary stories, shaping the world of entertainment today. We are speaking about the film industry, representation and giving others a voice.
