Edito from the President, Pascale Rey:
After an intense week of meetings, we just finished to establish the selection of the ten screenplays that will be developed duringour May workshop « Plume & Pellicule 2012 » in Sierre, Switzerland. Once again, we received more than a hundred scripts and it has been really hard to limit our choices to only ten scripts! We thank all the writers that trusted us with their material and allowed us to travel through all these different universes. Apart from the ten selected scripts, we also focused on three other scripts that have a great potential but were not quite as developed as the first ten. These are what we call our « Highlights ». See selected projects below!
On February 16th, we will celebrate the 7th birthday of DreamAgo in Paris, at “La Rotonde”! The night of our launch night was on February 16th, 2005 and we’ve achieved quite a lot in seven years! Please email Nena (nena@dreamago.com) if you are in France and wish to be with us to celebrate DreamAgo’s birthday !
While this month the cinema will be honored both in France (at the Cesars) and in the USA (at the Oscars), for us it will be the beginning of our preparation for Plume & Pellicule and our whole team is focused on it ! Thank you all for your interest !
