Franklin Leonard has been supporting screenwriters and bringing to light screenplays that otherwise would have remained shelved.
Leonard founded and is CEO of the Black List, a well-known force in Hollywood for finding the best unproduced screenplays by writers of color and getting those films made. The annual lists have included such Oscar-winning films as “Juno,” “The King’s Speech” and “Argo.”
