Founded by Maÿlis Vauterin and Delphine Clot in January 2022, Matriochkas is a books & films creative bureau.
Maÿlis and Delphine have combined their expertise from the book and film industries to enable great stories to be successfully shared, amplified and turned into films & TV series primarily but also other formats too including plays and podcasts.
Matriochkas offers to accompany every step of the book to film process, from identifying IPs with particular adaptability potential to promoting them as well as negotiating the option contracts and seeing them through until the film release. A complete package!
Matriochkas is therefore tailor-made. Depending on the client’s needs, it can represent the film rights in a selection of books, an imprint, a specific title or author or a full list. Whatever the requirement, Matriochkas will always work closely with authors, agents and publishers.
In addition, Matriochkas can also carry out specific searches for producers, directors or actors, helping them spot and source the relevant book material for their next feature film or series.
Our aim is to support all the stakeholders in the book-to-film chain, helping to build more links between the two industries by making sure that there is a full understanding from all sides of the artistic and financial basis for progressing a project whilst always working in the interest of all parties.
