Join the Black List team for another Wednesday happy hour at Melrose Umbrella Company! Come in to enjoy the drinks and the company. You never know who you might meet!

As usual, the event is free and open to the public (cash bar), so spread the word to your writer friends and we'll see you there!

The Black List, an annual survey of Hollywood executives' favorite unproduced screenplays, was founded in 2005 by Franklin Leonard '00. Since then, more than 270 Black List scripts have been produced, grossing over $24 billion in box office worldwide. Black List movies have won 37 Academy Awards, including three of the last six Best Picture Oscars and eight of the last fourteen Best Screenplay Oscars.

In October of 2012, the Black List launched a unique online community where screenwriters make their work available to readers, buyers and employers. Since its inception, it has hosted more than 20,000 screenplays and teleplays and provided more than 32,000 script evaluations. As a direct result of introductions made on the Black List, dozens of writers have found representation at major talent agencies and management companies, as well as sold or optioned their screenplays.

Currently, the Black List hosts over 2,600 scripts for consideration by over 2,400 film industry professionals ranging from agency assistants, to studio and network presidents, to A-list actors and directors.
