EXTINT is a multilingual script consultancy founded by Elina Fessa. We work with filmmakers to uncover the strength of their stories and prepare them to resonate on an international stage.

As a Greek filmmaker based in Spain, Elina brings both the perspective of an insider and the clarity of an outsider, a unique vantage point that helps projects cross borders while staying true to their origins. Our approach is immersive and personal: instead of applying formulas, we enter the world of each story, offering feedback that sharpens its vision and international potential.

EXTINT collaborates with international labs and institutions such as Cine Qua Non Lab (Mexico), Coofilm (Spain), the Owl Screenwriting Workshop (Greece), and HerArts Film Lab (Italy). Beyond consulting, we also scout and curate projects for film labs and production companies, connecting distinctive voices with the opportunities they need to grow.

I had the pleasure of working with Elina Fessa, and I am thoroughly impressed by her expertise and insight. Her ability to understand and connect with diverse stories is unparalleled. She doesn't just provide feedback; she immerses herself in your narrative, offering nuanced perspectives that truly elevate your work to the next level. Her guidance is invaluable, and her passion for storytelling is evident in every consultation.

Elina, as a script consultant, is very concise in her assessments. Her advice helped me a lot when it came to strengthening the plot and characters of my feature film treatment and her precision when it came to suggesting improvements that could be applied. I highly recommend her advice because thanks to her you can see results in record time``.

Elina advised me on different film projects I did. Her contribution was essential to understand the origin and personal background of my stories. In a journey of self-knowledge I travelled with Elina in the plot of the stories I wanted to tell.
Francesca Canepa, Writer/Director
Elina is a great professional. I have had the great fortune to have her as a tutor and she is a person who will always be willing to help you to get the best out of your story. I have often been lost or stuck at specific points in my script and she has always guided me along the best possible path to get to the point I wanted to get to. She is a person who helps you tell the story you want to tell so she always listens to you very carefully and supports you to achieve those goals.
Andrea Casaseca, Writer/Director
It was an honour to work with Elina, her contribution to the Master´s and the school in general was fundamental to both the design of the programme and the growth of the students, always generating a stimulating creative environment for students and teachers. Elina has the talent of being able to see the beauty in every project and help screenwriters find their voice and storytelling in a big way.
Juan Santa-Cruz, former director of the master's degree in film at EFTI
I've had the pleasure of knowing Elina for 15+ years and I can safely speak for her integrity, empathy, compassion and talent. She truly cares for the craft of filmmaking and her knowledge about the field is... well... gobsmacking. I've also seen her work with writers of all levels and nurture projects in a delicate, creative manner. Anyone working with Elina is in safe hands!
