Alizée Musson
Script & Development Consultant

Writer • Translator

Hi there, I’m Alizée – a script & development consultant, writer, and translator working internationally in French and English. Based in London, I develop films and TV projects with emerging and established talents in live-action and animation. Particularly interested in independent cinema, I work across various genres, including drama, thrillers, historical drama, sci-fi, and fantasy.

To tell you a bit more about myself, I grew up between France and the Netherlands, and later moved between the UK and Czechia to study film production at the Arts University Bournemouth and FAMU. After graduating from an MA in Cultural Entrepreneurship at Goldsmiths University, I started working in development as a reader. I went on to work on various projects with independent production companies and studios such as Ardimages, Entertainment One, Amazon Studio, Ubisoft, and Walt Disney as a freelancer. An alumna of the MIDPOINT Feature Launch and the TorinoFilmLab Extended script consulting labs, I also mentor writers through labs and residencies such as IFFR’s Boost NL, Screen Yorkshire’s FLEX Storytelling, and DYSPLA’s Storymaker Residency.

What I love most about development is seeing ideas grow into stories and helping writers nurture their creative process. My approach combines written notes and in-depth discussions with writers to uncover the core of a story, often hidden within a script or treatment in the early stages of development. It’s a privilege to witness those Eureka moments when writers are bubbling with ideas and just want to run away from the development room to write!

Outside the script development world, I also write fiction, and I’m currently working on my first novel. In 2016, one of my short stories was long-listed for the Borders – Penguin Random House Competition. When not writing or developing ideas, you will most likely find me travelling or learning foreign languages.

Get in touch and let’s discuss your development or translation needs!

Byron McNally
Producer at Script Compass

“I’m always impressed by Alizee’s reports. She has excellent skills as a script editor and consultant, and she deals with writers in a thoughtful and sympathetic way. Her feedback is perceptive and diligent, and shows real insight into the craft of screenwriting.”

Ian Long
Head of Script Consultancy at Euroscript

“Alizee has been a great script editor on our animated TV series project. She has demonstrated a great ability to deal with creatives of all types, from the obvious writer to designers, and consistently make sure that the world we have created was coherent from all perspectives, from the tone of voice of the characters to the position of props in the room. She is a great addition to any serial production team.”

Stefano Marrone
Managing Director at Nucco

“Alizée participated as a screenplay reviewer for our 2017 Vail Screenplay Contest, an annual contest staged by the internationally recognised Vail Film Festival. Alizée’s reviews were thoughtful and objective. She showed a strong understanding of story, structure, characters, and dialogue. We would welcome Alizee to read for our contest again as she was one of our strongest reviewers”.

Sean Cross
Executive Director of the Vail Film Festival

“I have been fortunate to work with Alizée frequently over the last year and I’ve often described her as my secret weapon as she is gifted in story editing and screenwriter. Alizée has a solid understanding of themes, characters and structure of narrative pieces, along with great insight into the nuances that come with writing for different media. I highly recommend her to your team.”

Natasha Wheatley
Producer at Open Coast Media

“Alizee worked with me on my feature film script. The meeting was incredibly rewarding, not only offering personal insight into character development, story arch and plot holes, but she went above and beyond to provide me with external professional resources, that would help me in the next few steps of the film making process. Alizee’s knowledge and connections to the industry make her an invaluable resource for any script writer, I can’ t recommend her enough.”
