About Vanessa
Some say I’ve had an unusual professional life, I’d say I’m going after my dreams. Not the type of dream when I sing in the shower and decide to become the next Beyoncé or Tiwa Savage overnight. No, I go after domains I know I’ve got abilities and then I work hard to become even more talented (I hope). One of these domains is screenwriting/producing.
I grew up in France, spending my days watching TV and drawing comic books. I used to prepare characters’ descriptions, write down their flaws, their background… not realising that I was creating a Bible for every story.
I started screenwriting about a decade ago. But 2020 was a pivotal year. I promised myself to stop the procrastination and the self-doubt, to get my first script produced. And I did. I had two short scripts produced as fictional podcasts. But I also ventured into production, when I created and produced "VIRTUAL COLLEAGUES".
I'm currently working on getting the next season off the ground, and... Oh BOY... what a journey!
