Screenwriter and filmmaker Sophie LETOURNEUR (1978, France) studied at Duperré School of Applied Arts and then at the ÉnsAD (French National School of Decorative Arts), majoring in Film. Her feature debut, La vie au Ranch (2009), was enthusiastically embraced in France, winning both the French Film Award and the Audience Award at Belfort Film Festival. Although she experiments in different forms of film, Letourneur often playfully trains the camera on the everyday lives of young women.
