We’re doing something a little different next week: Franklin Leonard, the founder of The Black List, joins us on our next episode of the Team Deakins Podcast. A Harvard-educated military brat, Franklin recounts his many travels and turns across continents and industries before finding his footing as an assistant in the motion picture literary department at CAA. Franklin later shares how The Black List, a valued industry tool to find great scripts and screenwriters, was born from a desire to do better at his own job as a junior development executive at Leonardo DiCaprio’s production company. We learn how The Black List has since evolved and how Franklin’s experiences influenced those evolutions to address access issues to the industry.⁠ ⁠ We learned a lot speaking with Franklin, but don’t mistake this episode for homework. Listen next week!⁠ -⁠ #teamdeakins #rogerdeakins #rogeradeakins #sirRoger #bywaysBook #jamesellisdeakins #teamdeakinspodcast #franklinLeonard #theBlackList #developm...
