WHAT IS SCRIPT CLUB?

​

We meet once a month to discuss a script that we've all read. The group is open to people (over 18) that are in the film or TV industry or who have who have an interest in film or writing. Participants don't need to have any experience. I'm a screenwriter and so it will be a good opportunity to read some great scripts and discuss them with people in an informal environment (and while drinking wine!). I'll be using the Hollywood Black List scripts and I will make them available for download on the scripts page of this site and either print the PDF or read on a tablet/kindle. Scripts are approximately 100 pages long and take about 2-3 hours to read.

 

 

THE SCRIPTS:

​

The Black List and the Brit List are annual surveys taken by studio and production company executives of the "most liked" motion picture screenplays not yet produced. It has been published every year since 2005. Of the approximately 1,000 screenplays The Black List has included nearly a third have been later produced as theatrical films, including successful and award-winning examples such as Argo, American Hustle, Juno, The King's Speech, Slumdog Millionaire, Spotlight, The Revenant, The Descendants, and Hell or High Water. The produced films have together grossed over $25 billion, and have been nominated for 241 Academy Awards and 205 Golden Globe Awards.

 

Thanks and see you soon,
