Hundreds of writers, coming from all over the world, came to us in order to test our collaborative tools, with consistent results, dozens of films awarded in Cannes, Berlin, Sundance, Venice... And year after year, we looked at our job with a perspective reaching beyond the world of cinema or series. It started 20 years ago, with an obvious observation. The act of writing in itself, most of the time blocks the creative process more than liberating it, as well as it blocks the possibility of introducing any real collaboration. We started to inject orality into the process, from as many angles as possible, bringing a much liberated substance, bringing also all the qualities the phenomenon of flow generates when we tell. In order to densify the layers with which we were playing, we brought huge paper boards allowing the writers to draw, to sketch, to generate collages of any kind... And one day, we felt the need to use spatial means instead of flat boards to populate and deepen imaginary worlds. We ended up generating a GREENHOUSE aimed at idea generation, which not only opened a whole range of creative possibilities, but also allowed a renewed use of collaborative set ups. Because space allows presence, and not only the presence of one, but the excited presence of 3, 4, 5 collaborators in the process. And the GREENHOUSE started to open possibilities for education, ecology, politics... Bio Screenwriter, Founder & Artistic Director of Le Groupe Ouest Following a first life as a sailor fascinated by mathematics and an interrupted Phd in philosophy at the Sorbonne, he graduated from the CEEA in Paris (the French conservatory for film writing) in 1996. After writing and directing a few awarded short films, a Chamber Opera in Paris as well on-stage experiments with a Philharmonic Orchestra in Prague, he co-wrote the 3D animation series Ratz, wrote for independent cinema with directors like Atiq Rahimi or Lucile Hadzihalilovic, and won the Gan Foundation Prize as a writer in 2005. In 2005, he founded LE GROUPE OUEST in western Brittany/France, a place created by writers for writers in a seaside village. Le Groupe Ouest has become a leading place in Europe for the coaching of the script development phase in residency (more than two thousand writers and filmmakers from all over the world coached in the last 20 years). Since 2015, he launched a focus on the ideation phase (called Pre-writing), which path of research led him to launch the StoryTANK a European think tank putting together screenwriters and researchers coming from various fields (cognitive science, physiology, anthropology, phenomenology…), in order to open new understandings and perspectives.
