Hi Everyone! As an Ambassador this year for @wscripted , I am inviting fellow writers and filmmakers to Wscripted’s The Inaugural Originals List! It’s a new, exclusive selection presenting standout original features, pilots, and vertical scripts to producers and is already on the radar of numerous production companies for 2026. Wscripted also hosts the 6th Cannes Screenplay List presented by MUBI — Wscripted’s flagship annual selection, announced during Cannes Film Festival (Festival de Cannes), that spotlights exceptional scripts by women and non-binary writers.
Make sure to apply before the April 30 deadline (April 15th for the 6th Cannes Screenplay List) at wscripted.co/impact and use my unique Ambassador coupon “madisonfrye” for $30 off when you apply!
