Scriptwriter Services

Here is how this works in practice. We connect shoots with scriptwriters and script consultants based in Romania for first development, adaptation, episodic story work, localisation and dialogue polishing. Our writers range from UNATC-trained narrative screenwriters to commercial and branded-content pros. Many work confidently in both Romanian and English, making them valuable for co-productions and for projects that need real local voice. We supply writers for treatments, full scripts, episode breakdowns and on-set rewrites, and script consultants who can check structure, pacing and dialogue without taking over a project.

Here is the short of it. Because the Bucharest creative pool is deep and competitively priced, development and writing work carried out in Romania is cost-efficient, and qualifying writing spend can add toward the CNC cash rebates of up to 45 per cent on eligible expenditure, with a cultural uplift for projects that promote Romania or European heritage. We brief each writer on the project's tone, references and audience so drafts arrive aligned with the production's creative and commercial goals.

Here is the breakdown. Romania has unusual literary and dramatic depth for a writer to draw on. Our scriptwriters know how to mine it. Romanian is a Romance language descended from the Latin of Roman Dacia. The country's storytelling custom spans folk legend, Orthodox heritage and the layered history of Saxon, Hungarian and Ottoman influence in Transylvania and Wallachia. This includes the Dracula legend tied to the 15th-century ruler Vlad III.

Here is what that looks like on the ground. More recently, the worldwide celebrated Romanian New Wave, led by writer-directors such as Cristian Mungiu, Cristi Puiu, Corneliu Porumboiu and Radu Jude, set up a worldwide respected school of sharp, observational, morally serious screenwriting that has won the Palme d'Or and the Golden Bear. UNATC trains writers in Bucharest. The Transilvania International Film Festival in Cluj-Napoca keeps the writing community connected to global development. The 1989 Revolution and the Communist era stay rich, a lot charged subject matter, giving Romanian writers material that resonates far beyond the country's borders.
