SCENE 01 / SCRIPTWRITING
Professional Scriptwriting Services
Expert screenwriters for films, TV, commercials, and digital content worldwide.
Scriptwriting is the craft of building screenplays for film, television, commercials, and digital work. In France, pro scriptwriters draw on the French New Wave legacy of Godard and Truffaut, along with La Fémis film school's acclaimed programs. They develop fresh stories or adapt existing material into formatted scripts that carry the narrative, dialogue, action, and visual direction every production department needs.
We connect you with pro scriptwriters across Paris and Lyon who know your project's format and genre. Our team guides the creative work between writers and your production crew. We also align with the CNC (Centre National du Cinéma) on development timelines and deliverables, so your script is ready when filming begins.

France script development for film and television
Script development in France draws on a deeply literary cinema culture. That line runs from the Left Bank screenwriters who shaped postwar French film to today's writers' rooms around Paris, Lyon, and the Sophia Antipolis cluster outside Nice. Our writers handle the formats and registers French shoots demand. These include feature screenplays for CNC-supported projects, television series aimed at France Télévisions and Canal+, commercial scripts tuned to the codes of the French advertising market, and documentary treatments grounded in careful research. We match each project with writers whose produced credits, genre ease, and language register fit the brief, then guide the work through a structured development cycle.
Story conferences happen face-to-face in our Paris offices or remotely with writers in Lyon and the southern coast, as the producer prefers. We build beat outlines, treatments, and successive drafts under CNC development timelines where they apply. Our team also manages rights clearance when adapting existing material and delivers scripts formatted to industry standards in Final Draft. Native French writers and cultural consultants handle localisation where authenticity matters, from period dialogue to regional idiom and pro jargon. As a result, producers get a polished script that reads true to French commissioners and to global co-production partners alike.

How many revision rounds are included in your scriptwriting services?
