Françoise von Roy
Script Consultant
Based in Berlin, Françoise von Roy works internationally as a script advisor on diverse projects, including genre, experimental, documentary, art film and serial narratives. Apart from consulting on individual productions, she lectures on development and screenwriting (dffb, ZhdK, Tallinn University, University of Malta). She consults regularly on projects selected by the Kuratorium Junger Deutscher Film and the German Ministry of Culture and Media (BKM).
Together with Franz Rodenkirchen she holds the regular script development workshop Script Circle for writers and filmmakers, the yearly intensive workshop Six Days of Practice for producers and other professionals involved in script development. Adapted versions of these workshops are regularly held for institutions and companies (Aamu Film, Hobab, Totem Films, Screen Scotland, Nederlands Filmfonds). Françoise has worked in the film and television industry since the 1990s in various fields of production and development. She holds an MA in Media Production and a BA in Film and Philosophy from the University of Kent at Canterbury, UK.
Françoise is committed to the idea that visual narratives are a vital part of human expression and communication. She is particularly interested in supporting filmmakers in their individual processes of development - at any stage, from early idea, screenplay, to editing. She explores together with the filmmakers how their works communicate and engage, whilst retaining the autonomy of their creative process.
