Biografia
After a master's degree in French and English Literature as well as in Business Administration at the University of Freiburg (Germany), Iris Bucher decides to move to Paris.
She begins her career in the entertainment industry as Production Assistant at Marathon International. In 1995, Iris creates, with three friends, the CEEA (European Conservatory of Audiovisual Writing), still today a highly recognized French screenwriters' school. As an Administrative Head of the school, Communications Director and Head of European Partnerships, Iris accompanies two promotions, while achieving a second master's degree in Law and Audiovisual Communication and Administration, at the Paris Sorbonne. Iris then decides to join the production company TéléImages, where she spends two intensive years as Script Coordinator of the soap opera Cap des Pins (France 2).
In 2000, Iris joins PM Production company, where she starts out as Literary Director, and where she will spend the next ten years of her career. In 2004, she produces her first TV Movie for TF1, which is followed by several projects for TF1, France Télévisions and M6.
In 2011, Iris takes a step towards independence by joining forces with Nicolas Duval, founder of the Quad Group, to create Quad Television, now Quad Drama, known for having launched the "Meurtres à..." collection for France 3, as well as for its ambitious dramas such as "The Bonfire of Destiny" (TF1 and Netflix). Quad Drama works with national and international broadcasters as well as with platforms.
A lecturer in several schools including HEC, Femis, CEEA or ESCP, over the years Iris has also become very active within the USPA (Union Syndicale de la Production Audiovisuelle, the most important French producer's union), notably as vice-president (since 2018) of the Fiction Committee.
