The Black List and the Athens Film Office have begun accepting submissions for the 2027 Owl Screenwriting Workshop. This intensive, residential development program is scheduled to take place from January 12-15 in Athens, Greece. The workshop aims to accelerate the development of bold, audience-driven feature film and television projects that are specifically positioned for the international market.

Submissions are being managed through The Black List's platform, a well-established online community and database for screenwriters and film industry professionals. The partnership with the Athens Film Office leverages local resources and expertise within Greece's burgeoning film industry. The selection process will focus on identifying projects with strong commercial potential and a clear vision for global distribution.

The residential format is designed to foster collaboration and intensive feedback among selected participants, providing a concentrated environment for script development. The program's goal is to equip screenwriters with the tools and connections necessary to navigate the complexities of the international film and television landscape.
