Competition
Fantasy series project In English and French
Hello
I'm proposing a fantasy series I've written that blends the real world with a parallel, mysterious and magical world. I've built rich universes, supported by complex characters and plots that blend the marvelous with the real.
My aim: to transport viewers, awaken their imaginations, take them on a journey between these two realities, mixing emotion, suspense and wonder, and offer them stories that are both entertaining and meaningful.
For me, writing this series is a way of exploring deep-seated themes through the prism of the imagination: identity, choice, fear of the unknown... Taking part in this competition is an opportunity to make my voice heard, to enter the audiovisual landscape with authenticity and ambition, and to share a universe that is close to my heart with a wider audience.
(If you are unable to open my file, please contact me by e-mail so that I can send you the file presenting the project (series concept, pitch, synopsis, note of intent). I'll also send you the story summary, the story stages, the story, the character bible, etc. (if you'd like to go further).
I remain at your disposal.
Sincerely
Miss Tassadit IDDIRTassadit IDDIR - 08/04/2025
