Are You a Writer Over 40 & Worried about Ageism? Watch this!

During our recent round of free 30-minute phone calls, age seems to have been a concern for a number of you. Is there ageism in Hollywood? If you’re over 40, are people going to look at you differently?

So we had a lovely chat with Brad Johnson, screenwriter, filmmaker, and founder of The Gray List, who is also now moving into literary management. Johnson shares his perspectives on ageism and explains how he created the Grey List to discover exceptional writers over 40.

Perhaps incredibly, The Grey List is gaining traction in youth-obsessed Hollywood. Could it be that execs are finally waking up to the fact that they need to start making good movies again — before the industry dies a cold, penniless death?

Naaah.

Johnson also explains how the connections afforded to him by The Grey List have forded a path for him into writer management, and indeed, he’s one of the reps on our Get Repped Now manager list. So this is your chance to get in on the ground floor with a new rep with something to prove – who also advocates for undiscovered writers over 40.
