Black list screenwriters: tip 4 you

Sorry peeps, I posted this in a hurry and made a mistake.

It's about the black list, not the Black screenwriters.

I forgot to typ the word LIST

Just bumped into this post on fb of Son of Baldwin.

I figured some orgers might be interested?

WIGS BLIND SCRIPT DEAL SUBMISSION CALL
HOSTED BY THE BLACK LIST

WIGS is excited to partner with the Black List to identify a new screenwriter for a digital series script deal. The primary focus of this program is to expand opportunities for undiscovered talent and potentially to find a great new writer to create our next hit digital series.

Launched in May 2012 by director/producers Jon Avnet ("Black Swan," "Fried Green Tomatoes," "Risky Business"), Rodrigo Garcia ("Albert Nobbs," "In Treatment," "Big Love") and Jake Avnet, WIGS is breaking new ground with award-winning scripted dramas for the digital age. The studio offers high-end original series, short films and documentaries, all starring female leads. Popular series include BLUE, about a single mother trying to protect her son from the consequences of her secret career as an escort, starring Julia Stiles, Mark Consuelos, Kathleen Quinlan, and Uriah Shelton; LAUREN, which explores the consequences of dealing with sexual assault in the military, starring Troian Bellisario and Jennifer Beals; and SUSANNA, about a career-minded woman who must adapt to motherhood overnight, starring Maggie Grace and Anna Paquin.

In February 2013, Fox Broadcasting Company (FOX) entered into a multi-year pact with WIGS. The programming, marketing and distribution partnership is designed to expand the breadth of offerings through the WIGS channel, and test and nurture dramatic concepts and talent in the digital realm.

If you're not yet familiar with our content offerings, we encourage you to check out our full slate of programming at watchwigs.com.

To opt in for consideration for a blind deal with WIGS, please review the Submission Requirements, the Blind Commitment Agreement, and the Submission Agreement located in the left menu. Once you have reviewed these agreements, click on the registration link below to register and upload your pilot or screenplay.

ABOUT THE BLACK LIST

The Black List is where filmmakers find great material to make films and great material finds filmmakers to make them.

It began as a survey. In 2005, Franklin Leonard surveyed almost 100 film industry development executives about their favorite scripts from that year that had not been made as feature films. That first list - many of which have been made since - can be viewed here. Since then the voter pool has grown to about 500 film executives, 60% of whom typically respond.

Over 225 Black List screenplays have been made as feature films. Those films have earned over $19BN in worldwide box office, have been nominated for 171 Academy Awards, and have won 35, including Best Pictures SLUMDOG MILLIONAIRE, THE KING'S SPEECH, and ARGO, and seven of the last twelve screenwriting Oscars. A complete list of Black List films is here.

In September 2012, we launched a membership site for industry professionals that functions as a real time Black List and screenplay recommendation engine. You can learn more here and sign up for membership here.

In October 2012, we extended our mission further by allowing screenwriters from the world to, for a small fee, upload their scripts to our database, have them evaluated by professional script readers, and subject to that evaluation and our recommendation algorithm, sent to our - at present - over 1000 film industry professionals. You can begin the process of being discovered here.

In November 2013, we began accepting original episodic material, providing access for aspiring television and webseries writers around the world.

The Black List is also home to Scott Myers' blog Go Into The Story, the official Black List screenwriting blog, and the online community the Black Board, moderated by Shaula Evans.
