From writing to the red carpet

Each team becomes a film crew

Deauville has been inseparable from cinema since 1975. This workshop immerses your teams in the world of the seventh art: each team writes its script, casts its actors and shoots its short film on an iPad, accompanied at every stage by a professional film technician.

While the teams finalise their shoot, the editors work behind the scenes to deliver the films in cinema quality within a few hours. The evening ends with a genuine private festival: screening of the films, a Palme d’Or-style awards ceremony and a Normandy buffet reception, optional or on request.

“In a few hours, your team becomes a film director, and the film becomes the highlight of the evening.”
