Third Seminar

The Greenhouse final seminar took place in Izmir, Turkey on December 9th to 14th. 

During the first days of the seminar, the 24 filmmakers worked on fine tuning their trailers with professional and renowned editors: Srdjan Fink (the Netherlands), Maaik Krijgsman (the Netherlands) and Joelle Alexis (Israel) - together with their mentors and Greenhouse team.

A pitching workshop was held by, Lucinda Broadbent, an international award winning producer.  During this session, the filmmakers learned different techniques of how to pitch a project. Participants of each project simulated their pitch in front of Greenhouse' Advisory Board Member, Paul Pauwels, Greenhouse Mentors, Steven Seidenberg, Nenad Puhovski and John Appel; and also the Greenhouse Team: Sigal Yehuda and Yair Lev.
