Sometimes, in life, a powerful event can be a positive trigger and mark you forever. It can spark a vocation or the beginning of a passion. Cynthia Avignon experienced this moment at 16 years old. When I saw the film in the cinema All that glitters by Géraldine Nakache and Hervé Mimran, I had a revelation
remembers Cynthia Avignon Actress in one film (How beautiful you are) Géraldine Nakache was not afraid to start writing and directing a first film. I said to myself, why not me?
A second novel to come
From that day on, Cynthia studied how to write a screenplay, layout, writing rules and got started. Her dream is to see in pictures the stories she imagines. And she wrote a lot of stories in her childhood, especially in the evening before going to sleep.
First, I put together three scenarios. I sent one to production houses, but I didn't hear back. It's difficult to break into the world of cinema when you're not known.”
confides Cynthia.
It was at this moment that Claire, his best friend, encouraged him to write a book. A fan of feel-good literature by Bruno Combes, Mélissa Da Costa, Adèle Bréau and Virginie Grimaldi, she embarked on the adventure and wrote a first novel in the same vein. Faced with trials transports us into a road movie full of twists and turns and strong in emotions. A woman's life story made up of passions and love that keeps us in suspense until the last page. While waiting to see her books adapted for the cinema, the writer is preparing a second novel based on one of her screenplays.
Faced with trials218 pages, three columns edition, €19.50.
