Sasha Behar is a Franco-Irish screenwriter and occasional illustrator, raised in Paris’ least cinematic arrondissement (the 15th). Her worldview was shaped by four steady forces: Catalan political conviction, Irish guilt, Sephardic memory, and the unpredictable logic of an alcoholic parent.

Her love of film began at five, when she accompanied her carpenter father to work to the set of Marie Antoinette. She remembers Sofia Coppola — barely taller than the dolly track — whispering to her actors while the entire courtyard held its breath. She fell in love like you fall off a roof: suddenly, and with no real plan for the landing.   Behar graduated with High Honors from the Sorbonne University in 2020, where she pursued studies in English and History. Over the years, she has held a variety of jobs in the film and television industry. From her early days as a PA to her roles as a Director's and Showrunner’s Assistant, she has worked on productions for Disney+, HBO, Gaumont, and Prime Video.

Sasha has written two shorts, two pilots, and three feature-length screenplays, with recurring themes of dysfunctional families, class rage, cultural double vision, and the quiet (or not so quiet) violence of trying to belong. She has a soft spot for children of chaos, failed revolutionaries, and people who love each other badly. She’s currently finishing her first novel, Canaries, and plans to one day write and direct her own feature films.
