ONCE UPON A TIME...

…in 1982. Orwell wrote 1984 and the internet was just a military project. There were cables and antennas on every roof (like in Amélie ). A time when you checked your mailbox a hundred times until that long-awaited letter finally arrived to get news from so-and-so. A time when a single telephone line reigned in the living room and its use was timed because it was expensive to use…

Shortly after, suddenly, the audiovisual industry exploded. The (crazy!) 90s arrived to the delight of Spanish homes, which marveled at a range of private channels with crazy content. We discovered Japanese anime , Italian mamachicho and, wonder of wonders, the puppets that preceded the codified content of a certain French channel.


On the top floor of a brick building in the south of Madrid, Roma G. Longoria discovers cinema with Fantasia , a Disney classic, Shining , a masterpiece by Kubrick and ET The Extra-Terrestrial , by Spielberg. In the summer, Roma G. Longoria writes stories to keep up a correspondence with friends. In the winter, during the (endless) family meals where more than 50 people gather, she livens up the gathering with dishonest princes, mischievous warriors and fearful dragons. It's time for plays, where sisters and neighbours play roles that she had written for the delight of a select audience of grandmothers and parents.


Roma G. Longoria has always been fascinated by the art of storytelling. Since she was little, she has devoured books (short stories, novels, biographies), comics, series and films. Throughout her professional career, Roma G. Longoria confirms that artistic creation is the tool she needs to express her vision of the world and explore her imagination.


After fifteen years of writing storytelling for major brands and directing advertising, Roma G. Longoria returns to her first love, the art of fictional screenplays. Thus, she reproduces stories that, like when she was little, she sees scrolling through the TV in her head.

With a Masters in Audiovisual Cinema obtained in Spain, I worked for 15 years in the artistic direction of advertising films (from scriptwriting to editing and filming) and in the creation of content for major brands.

In 2007, I completed my studies with a Masters 2 in Marketing and I pursued professional opportunities internationally: Belgium, England, Spain, the United States and finally France , where I settled in 2010.

Citizen of the world, avid reader, passionate about art and history, I am taking a sabbatical year in 2019 to rediscover my first loves: cinema and writing.

Determined to combine profession and passion , I have devoted myself entirely to writing screenplays since then.

In 2020, I took the " TV Bible Writing " workshop with Karen Alyx. I followed up with the " Audiovisual Writing and New Writing " course at EPSAA with Christian Boustani, at the beginning of 2021. I then completed my training in dramaturgy with the " Writing and Screenplay Development " workshop at CEFPF with Julie Ponsonnet until April 2022. Finally, I have been co-president of Séquences7 since June 2023.

I write, alone or in pairs, short film scripts (including one co-directed with Emilie Pottier as part of the Kino Festival 2022 and another with Muriel Brunier for the Phénoménales competition of France Télévisions), feature films or one-offs (notably with Pierre Giraud), plays and a TV series bible .

I write in French, Spanish and English.

My favorite topics are intergenerational conflicts, transmission, identity, changes in society and how they affect us as human beings.
