Spanish countryside retreat to complete first draft?

April 12th, 2010 - Screenwriting - Fabrice Renucci

Fabrice is heading south for a two-week intense writing lock-in, hoping to find the answers to complete the first draft of the screenplay in the solitude of the Spanish countryside.

This led the team here at I the Experiment to start questioning ideas about isolation and the creative process. Writing, by its very nature, is often an insular, closed process, a relationship between the mind, body and self expression. Will this journey away from the hustle and bustle of Berlin allow Fabrice to get in touch with the voices emerging in his screenplay?

In order to help facilitate this, Fabrice is also taking Radek with him. Radek comes from a psychology background, and the two of them hope to unlock a creative process necessary to enable shooting to begin this summer.

Will the seclusion lead to a first draft? Can these boys resist afternoon siestas, red wine, and other earthly temptations in favor of hard work? Only time shall tell. Check back over the next two weeks for updates on I the Experiment’s development…

On a side note: Fabrice will also be attending the Cannes International Film Festival, from May 12-19. If you are also attending and interested in discussing the project, please send us an email.

   “People move for a place, a person, or a job”. I don’t know if that’s always correct, but it sounds like your reasons for going there are balanced. My question is, what else will change by going there? Will your creative process also change with the scenery? Or is it simply a way to get retrospect?

   PS Love the site, it’s really well designed
