The Black List is an annually published list of the best screenplays written each year that weren’t made. Many of these films, however, have gone on to be put into production years after being featured in the list, with titles such as Argo, Slumdog Millionaire, The Social Network, and dozens more. While it is a list from most liked to least, being featured at all on it has become a backdoor honor for screenwriters. With that, because this “list” has so many amazing films on it, I wanted to create a festival centered around those films and the writers who made them happen. Creating a logo built of custom ligatures, I wanted to make viewers have to read the logo to stay true to the writers and what their art is all about.
