The Women’s List Unveils 2025 Scripts List Finalists, Spotlighting Unproduced Screenplays
The Women’s List, which describes itself as “the trailblazing advocate for female voices in screenwriting,” has announced its 2025 Scripts List finalists.
The list aims to spotlight “compelling unproduced scripts penned by women — across all genres, for every audience.”
According to the organization: “Unlike traditional contests, the nonprofit is a curated ‘treasure hunt’ for extraordinary scripts written by women, not a competition. Whether the scripts are thrillers, comedies, dramas or genre-benders, every selection is hand-chosen for its originality, strong characters and cinematic potential — boasting the kinds of dynamic female roles the industry wants and needs.”
The Women’s List, meanwhile, consists of co-founder Mia Certic, chair and co-founder Jan Kimbrough and board members Maggie Levin, Christine Luby, Kira Kalush, Lisa Seidman and Emily Schmidt. The nonprofit’s aim is to “brilliant” unproduced scripts by women and connect those writers to producers, directors, actors, agents and managers.
“We aren’t just about women’s stories,” Kimbrough said. “We’re about bold, innovative storytelling — by women, for everyone.”
Added Luby: “We want this list to land on every desk in town — from producers and showrunners to actors and agents. We’re just getting started — join us as we help reshape the industry, one script at a time.”
The 2025 finalists are:
