Show Notes
This week we are joined by producer, cultural commentator and founder of The Blacklist, Franklin Leonard. As we enter year 20 of his groundbreaking company which celebrates and supports screenwriters, Franklin reflects on a storied journey that brought him from Harvard all the way to stints at the Trinidad Guardian, Mckinzey & Company, and CAA, before a whirlwind jump into the industry via Mirage Entertainment, John Goldwyn Productions, Leonard Di Caprio's Appian Way Productions, Will Smith's Overbrook Entertainment, and Universal Pictures. As a conduit for over 400 produced scripts garnering over $30 billion in the box office, and 50 academy award wins with 40 golden globe wins, Franklin is both passionate and proud of his service. This episode is both eye-opening and educational, listen now and listen good!
