Isabelle Fauvel

Biography

After gathering experience as a producer at Flach Film, Isabelle Fauvel founded Initiative Film in 1993, the first company entirely dedicated to the creative development process. Since then, she has been working internationally, the privileged partner of writers, directors and producers for all matters regarding projects and talents development: talent scouting, book scouting, scriptwriting consultancies (on feature films and series), story editing, pitching training and insightful advising during the whole development process. As such, Isabelle has collaborated with many international festivals (Torino Film Lab, ACE Producers, MFI…) and is also a speaker for universities and film schools. Isabelle is also involved in building bridges with the publishing world at film adaptation events such as Shoot the Book! and the Polar en Séries Prize at the Quais du Polar festival in Lyon. In January 2025, Isabelle founded Silence&Conversation, a pioneering company that absorbed Initiative Film. Silence&Conversation aims to inspire thought and foster reflection on renewing the tools that support creativity and promote the development and circulation of talent.
