Becoming a successful creative screenwriter is no easy feat. For many people, even writing a well-worded email can be a struggle, let alone an entire story made for film. 

Additionally, most movies or TV shows can take weeks, months, or even years to complete, with dozens (if not hundreds) of people contributing to the final product, which may also require several iterations to achieve. When referencing the arduous process of writing, Patty Jensen, an Australian sci-fi and fantasy writer, stated: “It is a marathon, not a sprint.”

This quote is a favorite of Phoebe von Satis, founder of vonVon Satis LLC, an up-and-coming screenwriter who bases her writing projects on Jensen’s philosophy. She is also an avid runner who enjoys being physically active and often treats her screenplays, whether short scripts or full features, as a paced run. 

According to Phoebe von Satis/von Satis LLC, writing — much like running — should be done in healthy intervals. When the ideas and energy for the project are gone, a break should be taken. This not only prevents burnout but also keeps the motivation and ideas for the project fresh and free-flowing. It gives the project the legs it needs to be completed.

For Phoebe von Satis, this strategy has been incredibly effective. Her talents and work have contributed to the success of such projects as “The Hallmark Couple,” a biographical drama about the relationship between Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell, “Only in Malibu,” a work that follows the romantic dark drama of a new District Attorney on the West Coast, and “Gold, Glory, Nobility,” a fantasy telling the story of four voyagers on a thrilling quest to find rare treasure. 

Similarly, two other titles, “Split Endz” and “The Mint,” have recently garnered significant attention from audiences and critics. These five projects have qualified as quarterfinalists in two prestigious screenwriting competitions, the 2022-23 Los Angeles International Screenplay Awards and the 2023 Outstanding Screenplays Feature Competition. 

Goals and aspirations

To describe Phoebe von Satis is a prolific writer would be a vast understatement. With credits spanning stories of drama, romance, fantasy, and horror, the young writer not only writes for screenplays but has also written various short stories. She has even started writing children's books under the pen name “Lilith Ivy” and is seeking to get her children’s books published, as well as her short stories, by a Traditional Publisher.

Yet, after her recent success in qualifying for quarterfinalist positions in two screenplay competitions, Phoebe von Satis is now looking to take her projects to the next level. With her recent placings in these competitions, Phoebe von Satis is on a mission to take her material from the page to the big screen.

Phoebe von Satis has big goals in mind for the cinema world. To build on the success of her recent projects, she is looking to partner with investors, sponsors, production companies, and other stakeholders to make a lasting impact in the film and entertainment industry.

Realizing that one rarely, if ever, makes groundbreaking projects alone, Phoebe von Satis is also open to connecting with fellow writers, producers, and contributors in the film industry. She realizes that to make as significant of an impact of size and scale in the cinema world as she desires, a creative idea or screenplay project requires collaboration among various creatives.
