My name is Yvonne Lucrezia Condrau, born, raised, and lived in Switzerland until 1993 and then found my way to New York City. I work in 5 languages fluently: English, Swiss German, German, French and Italian.
I've been a storyteller ever since I was a little girl and captured my childhood audience with my compelling stories. Later on, I did some freelance writing for a local newspaper. But then, a few years ago, my wonderful Papa’s passing inspired me to finally follow my dream.
I’m a Drama/Romance Screenwriter. My adapted script "A Scottish Gem" (I'm holding the exclusive copyright) has been a fifteen-time Award-winning Feature Screenplay for Best Female Protagonist and Best Unproduced Feature Screenplay, and most recently received the Silver Award for Best Feature Script at the New York Movie Awards.
Gripped by the arc of her radiant life, delicate, heartbreaking, and still full of humor this compelling, true story, a wonderful Drama/Romance that finds a perfect balance between sweet, humorous, and sad with a strong female lead of indomitable spirit and working her magic has all the hallmarks of an emotional drama and great romance that will leave audiences spellbound and touched by sentiments. It is a story that people can relate to on some tangible and emotional level. Carole’s story is dedicated to all the courageous women who fought or have been fighting breast cancer to survive! Sadly, there are still too many women who did not!.
You can read my interview with the New York Movie Awards and London Independent Story Prize (LISP) on their website and with 8 And HalFilm Awards on WILD FILMMAKER, and listen to my Podcast interview at www.susannemueller.biz/ Susanne Mueller, Executive business coach and take it from the Ironwoman.
I draw inspiration from my vibrant imagination and execute my creative vision with a keen eye for detail.
I am excited to work on my new, original, and fictional Feature Screenplay "Domino Effect" (Mystery/Drama). Since the genre falls into the category of "Mystery," it shall remain a mystery to the readers for now.
Once I relocated to New York City, I worked as a Language Instructor, cross-cultural Advisor, and Translator for a Nickelodeon/Viacom TV documentary. I also gained great insight into the industry as a featured Extra in numerous well-known movies/TV Shows such as ‘The Manchurian Candidate,’ ‘The Interpreter,’ ‘Stay,’ ‘Law & Order CI,’ etc.
I hold a Bachelor’s degree in Business, Management & Office Supervision from Switzerland and New York University, NYC, and studied Advanced Screenplay Writing at New York University, NYC.
Look forward to seeing my project "A Scottish Gem" being sold, produced and distributed on the silver screen in the near future!
I am seeking representation.
