Script Index

As a replacement for our old script index, below you’ll find all of our favorite resources for tracking down produced film screenplays, television pilots, show bibles, and more online. Any produced script found online should only be used for personal education purposes.

FYC Links

These link to scripts that are currently vying for award nominations (FYC means “for your consideration”). These links tend to go dead shortly after the Oscars / the Emmys. Check in during fall/winter for the year’s best feature screenplays and in summer/fall for the year’s best television scripts.
