author from Algeria. I have a psychological novella called 'RIHAB' about an artist’s descent into a mental breakdown and how her paintings reflect her fractured reality.
I am looking for a talentedScreenwriter to collaborate with and adapt this story into a script to submit for the Stage 32 Film + TV Drama Screenwriting Contest before the January 21st deadline.
If you love psychological dramas and want to partner up
Thank you for sharing this so openly. What you described comes through with a lot of honesty and purpose, and it’s clear this project means far more than just adapting a story from one form to another.
Turning a deeply personal and culturally rooted experience into a universal cinematic language is not easy, and the fact that you’re approaching it with both courage and intention really stands out. Stories that challenge stigma and rigid traditions often resonate far beyond their origin when they’re handled with care, clarity, and strong storytelling. That kind of “rebellion” is exactly what gives a project depth and relevance on a global level.
I’m very drawn to projects like this, where the goal is not just to entertain but to translate lived experience into something audiences everywhere can connect with. I enjoy working as a creative partner in that bridge building space, helping shape narrative, character, and structure so the story remains authentic while also becoming cinematic and accessible to an international audience.
I’d love to continue this conversation, learn more about the novel, and understand where you see the biggest challenges in moving toward a feature film. If the vision and values align, I’d be open to exploring how we might work together to bring this story to the screen in a way that feels both truthful and world class.
