Sara Wikler is a Script Doctor in the movie industry, primarily working in Paris and Brussels. She studied Literature and Film at the University of Brussels (ULB) and Paris 3 Sorbonne before beginning her career as a script reader for TV channels including Canal+, ARTE, and TF1. In 1998, she joined Canal+ as an Acquisition Manager, where she worked for 18 years overseeing pre-buy rights for French-speaking feature films. She advocated for the growth of European animation, securing support and generating significant investment based on screenplays for a wide range of animated films, whether mainstream or arthouse, for both young and adult audiences.
After a move to the French Production department at StudioCanal (2016-2018), Sara joined Blue Spirit Productions (2019-2023) as an Artistic Producer, developing animated feature films. During this time, she also created her own methods and tools based on her knowledge in narratology to guide screenwriters and producers in feature film development. She began tutoring professional screenwriting courses at La Femis, teaching at the University of Cannes, leading Masterclasses and mentoring residencies such as Cannes/UCLA and Grand Nord. Since 2023, she has been focusing on her freelance role as a Script Doctor full-time, supporting both animation and live-action projects from the original concept to the final version of the scripts.
