Welcome to The Grey List!
The Grey List is a curated list spotlighting forty high-quality, production-ready screenplays from writers over the age of 40. The goal of the list is simple and straightforward—to spotlight outstanding stories from amazing writers, while drawing attention to the ongoing issue of ageism in Hollywood.
We believe that writers with more life experiences bring something unique and valuable to their scripts and/or a writers’ room and hope this list will help prove that creativity has no expiration date.
The submission window for The Grey List 2026 will be opening in Oct/Nov.
Sign up below to stay informed, be one of the first to see the chosen scripts, and keep up-to-date on all upcoming news, announcements, and special opportunities.
