ONCE UPON A TIME...

…in 1982. The internet was just a military project, and in Spain, there were antennas on every rooftop (like in Amélie ). It was a time when you checked the mailbox a hundred times until that long-awaited letter finally arrived, bringing news from so-and-so. A time when only one telephone line reigned supreme in the living room, and its use was strictly timed because it was so expensive…

Shortly after, the audiovisual landscape exploded. The (wild!) 90s arrived, much to the delight of Spanish households, who marveled at a plethora of private channels with wacky content. Japanese anime , Italian satirical shows , and, wonder of wonders, puppet shows that preceded the more codified programming of a certain French channel.

On the top floor of a brick building in southern Madrid, Roma García-Longoria discovered cinema with Disney's classic Fantasia , Kubrick's masterpiece The Shining , and Spielberg's E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial . In the summer, she wrote stories to keep up with friends. In the winter, during the (interminable) family meals where more than 50 people gathered, she enlivened the gathering with wicked princes, mischievous warriors, and cowardly dragons. Then came the plays, where sisters and neighbors performed roles she had written for the delight of a select audience of grandmothers and relatives.

Roma García-Longoria has always been fascinated by the art of storytelling. Since she was a little girl, she has devoured books (short stories, novels, biographies), comics, series and films.

Through her journey, Roma García-Longoria realizes that artistic creation is the energy she needs to express her vision of the world and explore her imagination.

After fifteen years writing storytelling for major brands and directing commercials, Roma García-Longoria has returned to her first love: the art of fiction screenwriting. Today, she writes and directs stories that, just like when she was a little girl, she sees unfolding in her mind's eye.

Did it make you travel? Tell me!

With a Master 1 in Cinema and Audiovisual Studies obtained in Spain, I worked for 15 years in the art direction of advertising films (from scriptwriting to editing and filming) and in content creation for major brands.

In 2007, I completed my studies with a Master's degree in Marketing and I took on a series of international professional opportunities: Belgium, England, Spain, the United States and finally France , where I settled in 2010.
A citizen of the world, an avid reader, passionate about art and history, I took 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 screenwriting ever since.
In 2020, I attended the " TV Bible Writing " workshop with Karen Alyx. I followed this with the " Audiovisual Writing and New Forms of Writing " course at EPSAA with Christian Boustani in early 2021. I then completed my dramaturgy training with the " Scriptwriting and Development " workshop at CEFPF with Julie Ponsonnet until April 2022. Finally, I have been co-president of Séquences7 since June 2023 and will serve until May 2026.

I write screenplays alone or as part of a team. short films ( including one co-directed with Emilie Pottier as part of the Kino Festival 2022 and two with Muriel Brunier for the Phénoménales competition of France Télévisions 2024 and the Nikon Festival 2026), feature films or one-off films , plays and series projects for television , for which I have several co-authors.

I write in French, Spanish and English.

My favorite topics are intergenerational conflicts, transmission, the quest for identity, societal changes and how they affect us as human beings.
