What writers and producers say
They have worked with 90pages
Alain Layrac, screenwriter
“I entrusted her with ‘La Reine des Lézards’, a screenplay I had written twenty years earlier, never made, which has never stopped haunting me. Not only did she write an extremely detailed report, but she also spent five hours with me dissecting the screenplay with great intelligence, relevance and sensitivity, without ever trying to impose anything on me — but giving me an overwhelming desire to return to it. She made me rediscover my own work and gave me the momentum to embark on a new version, at once closer to myself and more effective. Déborah’s background as an editor is a major asset for improving the rhythm of a screenplay. Since then, I have called on her on another project and was satisfied beyond all expectations. I cannot imagine writing anything important to me in future without drawing on her expertise. So - a word to screenwriters and especially to producers who want to improve a screenplay or gain an illuminating analysis: there is one name to remember. Déborah Braun.”
Erwan Rodary, producer and writer
“It was evident that I felt, through this ‘intimate’ understanding - in the sense of ‘as close as possible’ - of what we wanted to tell, a determination not to distort the material, a genuine desire to be at the service of the story we want to tell. All her questions, all her observations, rang true. She lets nothing pass, which so often allows you to trace a narrative problem back to its source.”
Yves Lavandier, screenwriter, director and essayist
“Dear authors and producers, as some of you know, I am always desperately searching for good script doctors for my personal projects. I have just found one. Our session was intense and fruitful. I recommend her to you. Her name is Déborah Braun. Her philosophy is summed up in this article (with a line I love: ‘Even a horror film can be a little black dress.’). Now, philosophy is one thing - its artisanal execution is another. On that front, believe me, Déborah makes her actions match her words.”

Yves Deschamps, film editor and writer
“As an editor active for more than fifty years, I know intimately the essential importance of the screenplay. I also know Déborah both as an editor and as a consultant. Having her as the first audience for your film or screenplay is a precious asset. Her sense and experience of rhythm, context and dramaturgy make her a powerful ally in the work of cinematic writing. She does not interfere with your ideas and desires - she helps you express their visual and emotional potential to the fullest. Two is stronger than one, they say. With her, it is certain.”
