Internationally-minded scriptwriter, film director, and consultant.
I learned everything I know about filmmaking working in the industry for more than a decade, in all types of productions, from all corners of the world. In 2020, I have decided to put an especial focus on my work as a screenwriter, directing for television and influencing the industry to become more diverse.
As an experienced WOC, and multicultural professional active in mentoring young talent and involved in activism and community work, I feel that I am especially well equipped to bring my experiences, knowledge, curiosity, open mind, and expertise towards pushing for inclusion in this industry, behind and in front of the camera.
That always starts with good writing, building great characters with authentic stories, and coming up with creative solutions for entertaining narratives committed to impulsing change. And follows taking intentional, informed, and focused action at every level of production.
As a writer-director, I have a strong commitment to truly cinematic storytelling that connects with an audience beyond the rational understanding of a film, but also at an emotional and sensory level.
I am especially interested in futurism, science fiction, speculative and visionary fiction as playgrounds to re-think the world in which we live and what it could become, always with an eye on the social justice issues of today.
At the moment, While living between Barcelona and London, I’m writing my first feature film and consulting on a digital series in development for a international streaming platform.
Looking for inclusion & diversity consultants working in film, TV, and/or culture to interview for research.
Hi everyone! **I just want to say how excited I am of seeing so much talented people** I hope you are all having a great week!
I urgently need a film/video editor to edit my directing reel for a specific pitch. (Closed)

I love Sally's work, because nobody understands mixing reality and fiction, present and future like she does.

- "A truly moving and poignant account of the heart-wrenching affects that hostile migration policies can have on real people. " About: 35.875 people have died in the mediterranean sea since 1993 to today trying to reach a safe port. Hundreds continue to die monthly. Spanish and Italian governments have started prosecuting and forbidding navigation to any NGOs that will try to save their lives. Our brothers and sisters keep dying. The seas of the world are filled with black bodies.
- What if you could not touch each other anymore? What if you became touch-phobic? What if we became an organized, impersonal, faceless, untouchable society set up to avoid all physical contact as a rule of proper behavior to the point of making physical interaction illegal? Zoë lives in such society and she is committed to finding what's missing in her life by adhering to the Skinhearts. The ones who have to hide and traffic to put back in touch human skin.

- Sally Fenaux Barleycorn4Dust. That's all we are, aren't we? We are made by the dust of memories as much as by stardust. Fatima is stuck between the memories of what this town used to be. Her birthplace, her family, her home, her heart. And all the dreams she had of what it would one day become. Not a megacity with lights on twenty-four hours and skyscrapers. That doesn't mean progress to her. But rather, a beautiful landscape colored in brown, orange and green, where people lie on their carpets outside in the summer ni
