After graduating in film (BTS Audiovisuel) and majoring in production, Sylvie Benavides left France and lived two years in Philadelphia (United States), where she studied Filmmaking For Film And Video and Lighting at Temple University.
Despite the encouragement of her teachers to stay in Philadelphia and study some more, Sylvie preferred to join Laurence Bachman's group, Ellipse Programme (one of the ten biggest TV film companies in Europe at the time), a company directed by Philippe Gildas.
At that moment, her passion to write was revealed. In charge of sending the scripts to their consultant, Carine Hutsebaut, a profiler, Sylvie was captivated by her job which consisted in analyzing the psychology of mass murderers, a psychology that defies all common understanding.
Sylvie decided to take some writing courses and followed the popular Robert McKee seminar Story. That is how her first screenplay entitled To Say One's Prayer was born: A thriller where the investigation is a tool to analyze relational feelings developed around contrasted personalities.
Jacques Nahum then asked Sylvie to join his new film company JNP France Films and his colleague Monique Trnka. Sylvie collaborated with them and worked on the drama TV series Le President Ferrare with Jean-Claude Brialy, and on a Marcel Pagnol adaptation Le Temps Des Secrets, Le Temps Des Amours, which was a huge success on the TV channel France 2.
But her passion for writing was revived. She read all the Patricia Cornwell novels and learned that the big Hollywood studios have been struggling for a long time now, trying to adapt the famous author's works. Sylvie decided to adapt The Body Farm for her own work, as a challenge, putting the emphasis on the characters who are about to reveal their deepest feelings.
Then the deputy director of the Greater Film Office of Philadelphia commissioned Sylvie to write the adaptation of the novel Weather War that she titled Project Thursday.
Sylvie wrote and directed a short-film entitled The Gravedigger (Le Fossoyeur). The short-film was a great success and has been selected in many film festivals around the world: Shortfest in Palm Springs (USA), Montreal & Toronto Canada), Brussels (Belgium), Seoul (Korea), Mexico (Mexico), Torino (Italy)...
Sylvie is now in Los Angeles pursuing her career in producing and writing.
