Where great stories begin

My name is Estelle.

I’m a script consultant with over 10 years of experience, fluent in four languages and deeply passionate about storytelling.

After graduating from EICAR, in 2011, I began my career as a literary assistant at Auteurs Associés, contributing to the development of episodes for the crime series Section de Recherches, while also reading scripts and scouting for new talent.

A year later, I moved to Canada on a working holiday visa and started working as an editor for a New York–based company, Company Cue. During this time, I developed my script consulting activity and joined the Canadian Academy as a jury member.

I then returned to Europe, settling first in the United Kingdom, where I resumed my studies at the University of Edinburgh. My consulting work became increasingly international, with collaborations across France and the UK.

After moving to Spain and refining my Spanish, my work expanded into collaborations with French- and Latin-speaking partners, with a growing focus on series development.

In 2021, I relocated to Portugal, learned Portuguese, joined the Creative Europe MEDIA expert pool, and began working as a writer for various production companies.

My missions

Goal #1

Guiding writers through development, from concept to final script — and, when everything aligns, all the way to the red carpet.

An idea alone is never enough to carry a story. Every project must be rooted in a strong theme, built on a solid, coherent script, shaped by a well-defined narrative identity, and brought to life by fully developed characters capable of creating a genuine emotional connection.

These foundations are what carry a project from idea to synopsis, and from synopsis to script. But getting them right often requires a third eye — one able to see what emotional attachment to the story can obscure. That’s where I come in. I help writers craft the strongest possible version of their story, from pitch to synopsis, through to the scripted draft.

Goal # 3

From English-speaking countries to Spain and Portugal, helping films and series stand out and travel internationally.

Drawing on 14 years of experience, fluency in four languages, and my expertise as a MEDIA / Creative Europe expert, I support European and international co-productions at every stage of development.

By analysing and supporting projects in French, English, Spanish, and Portuguese, my work opens new narrative and geographical territories and facilitates dialogue with partners for whom language, professional codes, or cultural differences can sometimes be a barrier.

Goal # 2

Optimising each stage of development to ensure your projects move efficiently from concept to reality.

How many ideas and concepts remain dormant, set aside by time constraints, creative changes, or shifting production partnerships?

To meet these development challenges, I offer a clear, flexible, and phased editorial support framework, guiding your projects from early development through to completion.

Reviews

  • Estelle is highly professional, competent, responsive, and efficient. Her coverage reports are exceptionally well structured and lead to meaningful improvements in the scripts, while clearly identifying what isn’t working.

    Christel Henon, Bidibul Production

  • I don’t always have the time to read scripts promptly, so having someone I trust like Estelle is invaluable. Even when I respond positively to a script, I rarely make a decision without her input. Her coverage is extremely insightful, and while we often share the same instinct, she articulates her analysis with exceptional clarity. I rely on her reports not only to guide my decisions, but also to support and justify them with international producers.

    Jesus Gonzalez Elvira, Producteur

  • A constructive and high-quality collaboration. Relevant analysis, aligned with the market.

    Jean-François Moussié, Fastprod

  • Estelle always brings enthusiasm and kindness, which are always welcome in what is often a challenging context. The relevance and precision of her work have continually impressed me and have contributed to improving the screenplays I work on.

    Thomas Bruxelles, Bright Light Films

  • Thank you, Estelle, for your clear insight into the strengths, weaknesses, and potential of each project. Your thoughtful, in-depth feedback is invaluable, as are the directions you suggest.

    Skopia Films, Eric Bitoun

  • In Estelle, I found an exceptional script doctor, with a remarkable ability to understand multiple layers of meaning, a strong command of dramaturgy, and a profound insight into character psychology — all while fully respecting my authorial intent and never encroaching on my creative vision. Her notes can be bold, but they are always delivered with great respect and sensitivity.
