“What's the biggest lie about screenwriting?”
That the best work naturally rises to the top. In reality, the industry is still ruled by access.
One response from our Screenwriters Survey that sparked a lot of conversation.

Huge congratulations to Jack Holden (Revolting, #BritList2025) on winning an Olivier Award.

A powerful, distinctive voice across stage and screen. It’s incredible to see his work recognised at this highest level.

Great to see Sam Baron (Brit List 2018) set to star in indie drama Circles, directed by Ariel Heller.
A powerful reminder that careers are built on community as much as talent.
