Inside the 2026 Black List Project Lab: Secrets That Could Change Everything Revealed
Today and tomorrow, they meet individually with the other mentors. Tomorrow afternoon, I share my How to Pitch a Movie presentation, something I’ve been doing at the labs for the last decade. Writers often spotlight it as a high point of their lab experience.
Then Thursday, our Big Day. We meet from 9AM-4PM to workshop each of the script projects. We meet in what we call the Writers Cottage.
We spend up to an hour on each script project. We begin with mentor feedback. Then open it up: What do the cohort members think work in the present draft? What needs work? Then it’s time for reactions, brainstorming, and suggestions. The workshop is both exhausting and exhilarating, and sets up each write with a path forward into their rewrite process.
