My superpower is analysing screenplays and identifying what isn't working, what needs to be fixed, and what can be just thrown out. I cast a very critical eye’, because I believe that we only want good stories, and we want them to be told in an interesting, intriguing way. 

And my job is to make sure it works exactly this way.

Script doctoring

I am a script doctor, working individually with film directors and screenwriters in three languages: Spanish, Polish and English. I have vast experience of consulting for feature films and series, from concept through to final script, as well as consulting on documentary film concepts and ideas.

Teaching

I also teach screenwriting, collaborating with various institutions across Andalusia, including private and public schools, film festivals and organisations. I additionally offer screenwriting workshops and/or masterclasses, and I am available to mentor screenwriters throughout the process of crafting a screenplay.

Consulting

I consult writers and their X draft of the script. My daily work consists mainly of one-on-one script consultations (which can last several hours), as well as shorter consultations with different clients. Furthermore, I am available to mentor the screenwriters during the process of creating or writing their first screenplay or treatment of film or series.

When it comes to the film industry, I have worked on productions for the indie film market in Poland, consulted on multiple scripts in both Poland and Spain, and have collaborated as an assistant to film producers from India and Poland for various pre-productions. 

On a more personal level, I have written three novels – all of which have been published in Poland, and the last of which I have adapted for screen as a feature film. I have also written a series (treatment, bible, and screenplay for the first episode) that was received by a Netflix Int. Producer in Los Angeles and is currently being reviewed by other producers in the industry. 

I’m now directing my short film DOLORES, based on my own original screenplay. 

I have a master’s degree in sociology of art, with a thesis focused on video-art.

I have coaching experience (certification in progress). 

I have international NGOs (CCIVS, SCI) certification and experience as a trainer, designing and providing workshops and trainings, using non-formal education tools.

I work with my clients based on the potential, knowledge, and skills they display.

“I hereby extend my personal recommendation to Edyta Niewinska, with whom I had the pleasure of working on my last film script, who, in addition to her professionalism, has proven to be an upright, responsible and hard-working person.

She has great knowledge about the script, construction, structures, psychology of the protagonist, etc. As well as the necessary tools to approach and develop both the writing and analysis of the script.

For these reasons, I recommend Edyta Niewinska, as a person worthy of trust and with the aptitude and capacity to face any responsibility left in her charge.”

Ignacio Andreu Abrio, producer and director

“Edyta is a wonderful professional, as well as a great person. Her creative talent is combined with great seriousness and formality when committing to each project in which she collaborates. We have enjoyed editing some of my scripts together. She always offers me an impartial and very enriching look, in addition to being a person with a good background in narrative, she has a great capacity for teamwork. I hope we can continue to collaborate together.”
