* Aïda Del Solar, Scriptwriting Expert
Graduated from ENSad (Cinema & Animation) and La Femis (Scriptwriting), Aïda del Solar has been coaching visual storytelling for animation and cinema for more than 20 years. She works all around the world with directors, productions and studios, cultural institutions and prestigious schools - like Gobelins, Supinfocom (Rubika), Ensad, Université Paris 8, The Animation Workshop & Unesco IFPC… Aïda’s goal is to help to find the strongest foundations inside each author’s project. The creative process will emerge from their first idea, thanks to motivated information, short writings and gestures. Then the emotional seed will sprout and grow, carrying a strong identity, genuine personality and universal empathy.
