Having graduated in Communication and Marketing, Marie Le Gac started to work for film festivals before joining L’ARP, a guild of authors, directors and producers, as a Project Manager of cultural events from 1996 to 2002.
Since October 2007, Marie Le Gac has worked for Rhône-Alpes Cinema, a regional fund to finance film production and uphold the distribution and promotion of long feature films shot in the Rhône-Alpes region.
Marie Le Gac is responsible for the Authors’ desk of Rhône-Alpes Cinema which finances the early stages of development for long feature films, particularly at the writing or rewriting screenplay stages. The Authors’ desk supports and assists emerging new writers, especially those native to the Rhône-Alpes region, in establishing with them an ongoing relationship to guide them from short to long feature films, two types of work supported by the Rhône-Alpes region.
