Valeria works with script- and project development and has created the label, Writers Write Films, to have a forum for new initiatives, workshops and events directed towards mainly scriptwriters. She works independently as a story editor, reader and scout, and creates and organizes workshops and readings. She tailors individual development-processes for producers. She is a member of the board at the new Copenhagen Screenwriting School, where she is also a script editor in their first 6-month development-workshop.

She has expertise working with MEDIA-applications and can work in English, Swedish and German, with skills in Norwegian as well.

Approaching her 3rd year of association with the European script development programme, Script&Pitch Workshops (supported by MEDIA), she is now content manager, and has started coaching the participating story editor trainees in 2008.

Since April 2008 she is Project Development Manager with the new Italian production fund, TorinoFilmLab, which offers a training part (in collaboration with Script&Pitch) and a development process, which gives access to the chance of winning a production-award. The fund selects projects by invitation only and is open to first and second time directors from all over the world. Valeria works closely with the projects from they are selected up to the annual pitch-event at the Torino Film Festival in November.

Valeria has worked as a tutor on other workshops, among them NisiMasa’s European Short Pitch (short film-projects) and Maia Workshops (for producers). She has since 1998 participated in the major European film festivals, including the new Screenwriter’s Festival in Cheltenham, and continually takes part in courses and events. Recently she participated in the story-editing course at the Binger Filmlab in Amsterdam.
