Fatal

FATAL follows the story of Olympe Williams, a 30-year-old
Black fashion designer, ambitious and determined to make her
mark in a fiercely competitive industry. Initially working
in the shadows, she dreams of launching her own brand to
honor her mother, a talented seamstress, by merging Afro-
American cultural heritage with haute couture. However, the
path to success is fraught with obstacles: caught between
her manipulative mentor, Victor Vanderbilt, and the man she
falls in love with, Phil Ellington, Olympe must navigate a
journey of ambition and loyalty. The story delves into
themes of ambition, identity, and manipulation in a world
where every decision can change a life.

Writer Statement

My name is Alizé Tetaud , and even though I have never attended film school or received formal training in this field, I have always known that writing screenplays is my true calling. Since a young age, storytelling has been my way of understanding the world and bringing my dreams to life.

I am a determined and passionate person. People often describe me as persistent, creative, and able to convey deep emotions through my writing. These qualities guided me in creating FATAL, a work that reflects both my inspirations and my beliefs.

FATAL tells the story of Olympe, an ambitious and courageous woman striving to find her place in a world where nothing is handed to her. This screenplay is a tribute to strong women who fight for their dreams while honoring their identity and heritage. Through this project, I aimed to explore universal themes: ambition, loyalty, love, and the sacrifices required for success.

To me, cinema is much more than an art form; it’s a way to evoke emotions, provoke thought, and sometimes even change perspectives. With FATAL, I want to touch hearts and offer a genuine and inspiring story that resonates across generations.
