Interview [Written]: Franklin Leonard

I have read, seen or heard many interviews with Franklin Leonard, both before I had met him, then throughout the several years I have known him as part of the Black List team. And I must say, this most recent interview in “Origins,” a new journal featuring writers and creatives exploring the “art of narrative,” is perhaps the best one.

In it, Franklin talks about his youth, education and circuitous path into Hollywood, the founding of the Black List, reflections on the state of the movie business today, and much more.

To read it, click on the image below. The interview with Franklin begins on P. 76, but the entire issue is worth checking out.

Let me add this: The interview was conducted by Lisa Mecham, a writer and storyteller who I first got to know when she participated in the very first Quest Writing Workshop in Santa Monica in March, 2013. An emerging talent!
