Writing workshop | Feature-length fiction

3 days + 1 individual session | 3 to 4 participants

A screenplay comes to life in front of an audience. In this workshop, four writers work on their feature film project, based on a screenplay or treatment.

Together, we'll explore the story's strengths and areas for improvement. As a screenwriter and consultant, I'll offer concrete tools to reinforce coherence, structure and emotional impact, while guiding the group's feedback. Each participant will benefit from rigorous and benevolent feedback, in a creative and stimulating atmosphere. Extracts from films can be analyzed according to the time and needs of the group.

An individual post-workshop session will enable you to refine your project according to your specific objectives.
