The Bay List’s Writer Salon: The Morning After

This past Saturday's The Screen Writer’s Salon, hosted by The Bay List, Rafael Casal and MakeitBay, was a definitive confirmation and celebration of the creative roots being nourished here in Oakland. 

The Bay’s writing community showed out to share their finest ideas, swap tricks of the trade and find new creative accomplices on their upcoming projects. Much like a good script, the premise is simple, by tapping into our local creative hub and empowering the strongest voices within that space, we can bring a product to the decision makers in big markets that is truly representational of the Bay Area’s unique creative architecture, spawning a new generation of homegrown filmmakers.

  • The writer was born in the Bay Area

  • The writer currently lives in the Bay Area

  • The writer lived in the Bay Area for a significant period of time

  • The writer is a part time resident of the Bay Area

  • Screenplays and pilots do not need to be based in the Bay to qualify

The Bay List will select 10 scripts submitted by Bay Area screenwriters. Submissions are due on April 8th, If you're interested in submitting and representing, make sure you have a polished work by then. Here are some important deadlines:

  • April 8, 2025 → Bay List submission deadline
