ABOUT THE GREY LIST
Its motto is: "Creativity has no expiration date." According to founder Brad M. Johnson:
"The Grey List started with a simple goal: to push back against ageism in the entertainment industry by spotlighting writers over the age of forty and the spectacular stories they’re telling. It’s worth noting that The Grey List is not a 'best of' list. It’s a curated sampling of spectacular scripts written by some truly amazing writers.
"The feature and pilot scripts presented here were compiled through a combination of an open nomination process, acclaim through contests, fellowships, or other forms of third-party recognition, and personal recommendations from industry professionals.
"This resulted in a diverse list of writers across lines of race, gender identity, and sexual orientation. This list also represents diversity from a career perspective, featuring work from writers at every level from showrunners and currently staffed writers, to repped writers still looking for their break, and emerging writers just starting out on the path to achieving their dreams.
"We hope you enjoy the amazing range of stories represented here and thank you for helping us push back against ageism in the entertainment industry."
