I’m very happy that the belgian-hungarian crime miniseries BLUEBEARD’S DAUGHTERS, co-created with Judit Banhazi and Béla Bagota, received in 2022 the COCO-I grant for international series co-writing from the French CNC.
We are very proud of the pilot we delivered, and we can’t wait to move the project to the next phase.
Onboard Netflix’ 1899
Since last October, I’m lucky to be part of the team working on the super ambitious crazy Netflix period mystery 1899, by Jantje Friese and Baran Bo Odar, the creators of Dark.
I’m the French translator and the French language consultant on set. It’s an amazing experience to be part of such a huge production with exciting new technology.
Learning a lot!
Call my agent
I am now represented in Paris by Sylvain Cochard at Film Talents. We already signed two jobs and sold two options, so I’m very excited about this new partnership.

On other news, I will be present at Content London from December 3 to 6. Get in touch if you want to meet!
Festivals season
Berlinale was super busy and fun, but seems already far away. Next stop: France!
March 24-28, find me in Lille for Séries Mania where I’ll be part of a panel about writing for international co-productions, and hosting another edition of SEAN’s Amazing Travelling Pitch Circus!
April 7-10, I’ll be in Cannes to give a pitch training workshop, “Believe in your Idea”, for MIPTV!
C21 London time
I spent a week in London at the C21 Content conference, listening to interesting panels and meeting enthusiastic creators. I also participated in a two days showrunner masterclass, under the supervision of Spooks creator David Wolstencroft. What a joy to be back in a writers room, even if it was just a simulation!
Amazing time in Beijing
I spent ten amazing days in China, thanks to the project lab Bridging the Dragon and TV60. We pitched our crazy adventure movie, scouted locations, exchanged with passionate filmmakers and received super smart feedback from our mentor Li Wei, screenwriter for Zhang Yimou!
Can’t wait to keep working on that story and to come back to Beijing! Xie xie!
Art Department masterclass
I had a great time in Torino bringing our project Die Stadt to the Art Department Masterclass!
Chinese adventure!
The feature film adventure comedy I’m writing for TV60Film (Munich), THE FAKE ADVENTURER, inspired by Karl May, has been selected for Bridging the Dragon, a coproduction summit.
I’m flying to Beijing next month to pitch the project to Chinese producers! Time to brush up on my Mandarin…
French Funding
Good news! Our historical horror TV series project DIE STADT, created by Elena Lyubarskaya, received the new funding from the CNC (Centre du Cinéma, Paris) for development in co-writing of international co-productions.
We’re looking forward to researching this project and to dive deeper into the deranged mind of its main character.
