About Me

Hello there!

I am Regine, a screenwriter, script consultant, and editor.

I wrote my first script when I was 15. I didn’t have a clue about format, structure, nothing, I just had a story and wanted to tell it. Ever since then, I’ve worked hard to learn the craft, improve my technique, understand the rules, and eventually learnt how to bend them, but you need to be honest to yourself and so I realized that I never really enjoyed writing as much as I enjoy helping other writers achieve great things.

Today, I offer my knowledge and experience to help you be the greatest writer you can be.

In this blog, you'll find free resources, information, and tips to master the craft of screenwriting and tell memorable, entertaining stories. You'll also find a thing or two about filmmaking in general and project development, so hope you enjoy :)

Let's work together!

I love meeting and helping fellow writers and filmmakers, so to show my appreciation, all my blog subscribers get a 10% off in all of my services. You can subscribe here or visit my website www.regineclemenceau.com

Welcome and Happy Writing!

Why Teen Me Was a Creative Genius (and How Adult Me Can Be Too)

I’ve never felt more creative than when I was a teenager, and lately, I’ve been wondering why that was. It's not a single reason, of course, but I can pinpoint a few key factors. Firstly, I was in school. Every day, I attended a place where I could meet people, learn new things, and participate in group dynamics. Most importantly, I felt a sense of belonging among like-minded peers. High school and college created an environment where I felt safe and confident to imagine and create. I could write for long hours, often late at night or between classes and activities. It wasn’t something I forced; it just happened naturally. Being around real people and situations sparked inspiration for my stories. I wrote plays, novels, poems, screenplays—anything and everything. I didn’t always review or share my work, but I put it on paper and constantly sought stories everywhere. I don’t think I had more spare time than I do now as an adult, but somehow, I found the time to write. Which brings m

The Index Card Writing Method

This very easy (and effective) method works great for experienced and amateur writers alike since it allows you to see your structure and make modifications without spending time in writing and rewriting, it also helps to make sure that every scene contributes to the story and remove unnecessary scenes without getting rid of them completely. How does it work: Write each scene on an index card (post-its work too). You can either write (or print) the whole scene, or just headline and description. What matters is that you’re able to identify the scene by looking at the card alone. Organize the cards as they currently appear in your script. You can put them on a wall or board if you have them available but if you don’t, a table or floor will do the trick. Do some staring. Seriously, look at your cards and understand where you’re at and where you want to get. Are you getting there with the way the scenes are now? What do you need to change in order to get there? Is every scene contributing

What is a Script Consultant and why do you need one?

Screenwriting is no game, it takes time, effort, and, genuinely, courage. But what happens when all the work has been done and you've managed to type "THE END", those magical words that appear to be the finishing line, but are indeed nothing close to it? Yeap, turns out that finishing the script is only the start of a long and sometimes bumpy journey; however, screenwriters are not alone. In the world of creative writing, a figure exists that is meant to make this process easier for anyone willing to take help: The Script Consultant. A Script Consultant is a writer or editor that instead (or aside) of writing, works with other writers and pieces to improve them, be it structure, plot, character development, or plain storytelling, a Script Consultant provides a very particular insight that helps the writer refine and polish the work done. But what exactly do they do? Well, it's a combination of several things - proofreading, analyzing, suggesting, and bouncing ideas..
