The Screenwriter

Official Winner of the Bailey Award from the 2025 AI Film 3 Festival Out of breath and out of inspiration, a struggling screenwriter receives an unexpected call: the producer demands a new scene by the next morning. Alone in front of his screen, a cup of cold coffee in hand, the screenwriter embarks on an unpredictable creative marathon. As the night unfolds, reality and fiction begin to blur. "The Screenwriter" is a mental and emotional chamber piece, a deep dive into the torment of creating under pressure, where every minute counts, and where the real battle isn’t fought on the page… but inside the mind of the one writing it. Director Biography - Laurent Cliquet
