Their website vibe is created by Ash Lazer and Justin H. Olson and aims to feel like a “Netflix For Writers”—projecting a completed brand image at the script stage. The Stunt List Website is created by Ash Lazer and Eric Moyer, Executive Produced by Elizabeth Ditty, and runs on the sweat equity of a team of brilliant creators. In addition to The Stunt List showcase, they’ve recently expanded into market-ready screenplay initiatives, called The Dead List and The Originals Bureau.
The only program of its kind in the world, The Writers Lab was launched in 2015 with Meryl Streep as its founding advocate. A non-profit incubator that amplifies cinematic stories by women over 40, our mission is to discover and promote superior film and television content by underrepresented storytellers, bringing truth and balance to the collective narrative.
The founders Elizabeth Kaiden and Nitza Wilon partner with New York Women in FIlm & Television to build a yearly retreat and incubation for a select group of writers and also to present programming for the community.
