After studying at the Ciné-Sup preparatory class and then at La Fémis (class of 2007, scriptwriting department), Virginie Legeay co-wrote Franco Lolli’s two feature films Gente de bien and Une mère incroyable (Litigante), both of which were screened at Premiers Plans. She also acted as a consultant on the screenplays for Emma Benestan’s Petite sauvage, Jean-Baptiste Durand’s Chien de la casse (Junkyard Dog) and Dania Reymond-Boughenou’s Les Tempêtes. All three were read at Premiers Plans.
