Sabina Zupanc is a screenwriter and dramaturge that has a background as midwife. Her vivid fantasy and twisted sense of humour is her hallmark.
Sabina writes drama, comedy and fantasy with emphasis on sharp turning points. She has worked in many different genres, but coming-of-age stories has a special place in her heart. She is especially skilled in character-driven drama and comedy.
Sabina’s previous background as a midwife (barnmorska) & school nurse gives life to the stories. Her expertise and strong sensibility for the human conditions and psychology promises an innovative take on her stories. Sabina goes deep into interpersonal relationships from surprising angles and the conflicts that prevent the characters from living the life they want to live deep down. Her strength is complex characters, unpredictable twists and turns and wild transformations. With deep respect for her audience – and the theme – Sabina portrays children’s rights, young love, sexuality, mental illness and rootlessness. The vibrant heart of the story runs as a connecting thread through her work.
Sabina Zupanc is educated at SKH, Blue Cat Screenplay (San Francisco) for Gordy Hoffman, masterclasses at Den Danske Filmskole, Biskops Arnö’s Screenwriter Education, and is a trained screenwriter at Alma Löv Script Academy. Since 2018 she’s been working as a freelance on tv-series (concepts), storylines, episodical tv and film for several different production companies (including being a script consultant).
