SCENE 01 / SCRIPTWRITING
Professional Scriptwriting Services
Expert screenwriters for films, TV, commercials, and digital content worldwide.
Here is how this works in practice. Scriptwriting is the craft of creating screenplays for film, television, commercials, and digital work. In Spain, pro scriptwriters build on Spain's rich screenwriting tradition from Almodóvar's collaborators to the ECAM film school's development programs to develop original stories or adapt existing material into formatted scripts that communicate narrative, dialogue, action, and visual direction to production departments.
Here is the short of it. We connect you with pro scriptwriters across Madrid and Barcelona who specialize in your project's format and genre. Our team facilitates the creative joint work between writers and your production team, setting up with ICAA (Instituto de la Cinematografía y de las Artes Audiovisuales) on development timelines and deliverables to make sure your script is production-ready when filming ways.

ALMA-registered screenwriters trained at ECAM Madrid and ESCAC Barcelona, working in Castilian, Catalan, Basque, and Galician with the Cervantes-Lope-Calderón-Almodóvar dramaturgical lineage feeding ICAA, RTVE, and Movistar+ pipelines
Here is how this works in practice. Our scriptwriting roster in Spain is built on the country's deepest creative institutions and registered through the formal screenwriting guilds. We work with members of ALMA (Sindicato de Autores Literarios de Medios Audiovisuales — the Spanish screenwriters' guild) and DAMA (Derechos de Autor de Medios Audiovisuales). With collateral rights administered through SGAE (Sociedad General de Autores y Editores). And we source talent from the two pillars of Spanish screenwriting education. ECAM (Escuela de Cinematografía y del Audiovisual de la Comunidad de Madrid).
Here is the short of it. The national-prestige conservatory whose alumni populate Almodóvar's El Deseo, Mediapro Studios, Movistar+. And the RTVE drama pipeline — and ESCAC (Escola Superior de Cinema i Audiovisuals de Catalunya) in Barcelona. Which has trained Juan Antonio Bayona (The Orphanage, The Impossible, Society of the Snow). Carla Simón (Alcarràs — Berlin Golden Bear). And a generation of Catalan-language screenwriters now driving TV3 commissions. Our writers carry the Golden Age (Siglo de Oro) dramaturgical heritage of Cervantes, Lope de Vega, and Calderón de la Barca into today's long-form structure. Blend in the Almodóvar emotional-melodrama register (many Oscars, Cannes, Venice). And pull on Buñuel's surrealist toolkit and Saura's flamenco-cinema fusion when projects call for it.
Here is the breakdown. Our team manages the full development workflow against the Spanish funding calendar. ICAA development grants, the RTVE co-production board, Movistar+ Studios first commissions. And Mediapro Studios writing-room briefs each operate on staggered submission windows we map at the outline stage. Festival pitch sessions at San Sebastián Film Festival (September. A-category Europix Co-Pro Forum), Sitges (October — genre/horror), Málaga Festival de Cine en Español (March). And SEMINCI Valladolid (October — auteur prestige) anchor first-look development cycles. While ECAM Incubator and Sundance Spain-track residencies give structured script-doctor passes.
Here is what that looks like on the ground. We deliver in Castilian Spanish as the default register, with bilingual development work in Catalan, Basque (Euskera), Galician (Galego). And Valencian when autonomous-community co-funding needs it. And with neutral-Spanish adaptations for Latin American distribution that scrub the distinción /θ/ phoneme and vosotros conjugation. Scripts ship in Final Draft, WriterDuet, and Movie Magic, fully formatted to ICAA dossier standards. With treatments and synopses tuned to commissioner-specific guidelines (Movistar+ wants 1-page loglines plus 5-page treatments. RTVE wants 12-page bibles for serialized drama). Three revision rounds, 72-hour rush turnarounds, and 98% client satisfaction across 500+ scripts produced.
