Scriptwriter Services
Compelling narratives fuelled by Brazil's vibrant telenovela tradition and award-winning cinema.
Here is how this works in practice. A scriptwriter crafts the screenplay that serves as the blueprint for an entire production, creating dialogue, structure, and character arcs that drive the narrative. Brazil's screenwriting culture is uniquely shaped by the telenovela tradition. This has produced generations of writers skilled at serialised storytelling, emotional intensity, and mass-audience buy-in. Beyond telenovelas, Brazilian cinema's New Wave legacy and modern auteurs like Fernando Meirelles continue to push narrative boundaries.
Here is the short of it. We connect you with scriptwriters who work in Portuguese and English, supporting both domestic shoots and the global co-productions that ANCINE incentives attract. Our network has pros skilled in features, episodic television, short-form content, and commercial scripts, ready to work with your creative team from concept through final polish.

Brazilian screenwriting from the Cinema Novo lineage to the Oscar-winning I'm Still Here
Here is how this works in practice. Brazilian screenwriting works in a film culture with international recognition: Walter Salles's I'm Still Here won the Academy Award for Best International Feature Film in 2025.
Here is the layout. On the ground, today's writers work in a tradition that runs from the Cinema Novo of Glauber Rocha's Black God, White Devil (1964) to contemporary festival and streaming work.
Here is the short of it. On the working level we package writers, writer-directors, story editors, and writers' rooms for features, top television, telenovelas, documentary, branded content, and commercials. Brazil's telenovela writers' rooms have built a deep bench in long-form serial storytelling.
Here is how the work shapes up. CLT contracts, FGTS, INSS social-security contributions, 13º salário, and paid vacation are planned into the development budget. Visiting overseas writers need the appropriate Brazilian visa. We help structure financing around the federal Audiovisual Law (Lei 8.685/93) tax incentives, Spcine (São Paulo) and RioFilme (Rio) funding, and Brazil-Portugal, Brazil-Argentina Mercosul, and US co-production structures.

FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
What Brazilian storytelling traditions inform your writers?
Here is the breakdown. Brazilian screenwriting draws on the telenovela tradition of serialised emotional storytelling, the Cinema Novo movement's social consciousness, and a modern scene that produces worldwide recognised festival films. Our writers draw on all these traditions based on the project's needs.
Can your scriptwriters work in both Portuguese and English?
Here is what that looks like on the ground. Yes. Our Brazilian writers work fluently in Portuguese and English. Many have experience on global co-productions with partners from Portugal, the US, and Europe. They know the differences between Brazilian and European Portuguese and can write authentic dialogue for either market.
How do your writers handle Brazil's regional diversity?
Here is how the picture comes together. Brazil's regional cultures differ a lot, from the carioca humour of Rio to the nordestino storytelling traditions of the Northeast. Our scriptwriters know these distinctions and can write characters and dialogue that authentically represent specific Brazilian regions and communities.
How do you match a scriptwriter to my production?
Here is what we have to work with. We consider your project's genre, tone, format, and development stage, then recommend writers whose portfolios and voice align with your creative vision. Whether you need a writer to develop an original concept or polish an existing draft, we match the right talent to your needs.
