Natascha CUCHEVAL
télécharger le cvNatascha Cucheval is a screenwriter and author, a graduate of La Fémis. She writes for television, collaborating with numerous producers. Her writing focuses on the shadowy areas of her characters, their contradictions, and the tension between the intimate and the social. Her novel Un Sentiment (Fayard), selected for the Prix Goncourt du Premier Roman and the Prix René Fallet, and winner of the SCAM grant “Brouillon d’un rêve d’écriture,” revealed the precision and depth of her authorial voice.
Alongside her writing work, she serves as a literary director on prestige fiction projects at Quad Drama, where she supports the development of projects by other writers. Curious about collective processes and new narrative forms, she grounds her work in a constant search for balance between emotion and structure, realism and mystery.
