Scriptwriter Services

Here is how this works in practice. We supply scriptwriters who develop first screenplays, adapt existing material, and give rewrites and script work for shoots connected to Croatia. Our team places writers who work across features, television, documentary and branded content, working with directors and creative producers from the development stage through production drafts. They can write for Croatian and global co-productions, develop material that makes meaningful use of Croatian settings, and give localisation and translation support so a script works for both local and global audiences.

Here is the short of it. A scriptwriter we place knows story structure and the practical realities of what is shootable on Croatia's coast and in Zagreb, works in English and Croatian, and brings the narrative craft that the country's respected national cinema has long cultivated.

Here is the breakdown. Croatia's screenwriting culture grows from a serious cinema custom. Directors such as Dalibor Matanic, whose 'The High Sun' won a prize in Cannes' Un Certain Regard, alongside Vinko Bresan. Rajko Grlic and Ognjen Svilicic, have often worked as writer-directors, and the national industry sustains a community of screenwriters whose work is visible at the Pula Film Festival and at ZagrebDox. The Academy of Dramatic Art (Zagreb) trains writers, and the country's literary custom feeds adaptation work.

Here is what that looks like on the ground. The HAVC-administered 'Filming in Croatia' incentive and Croatia's growing co-production sector create demand for development talent that can structure global projects. Scriptwriters we place work within GDPR and AZOP when handling project material, draw on Croatia's EU and Schengen membership and its 2023 adoption of the euro to work with across borders, and connect easily with development partners in neighbouring Italy, Slovenia and Austria.
