Personal experience - Greenhouse 4: Director of the project "Tales of The Defeated"
Yael Reuveni Greenhouse 4th round participant, Director of the project "Tales of The Defeated", Israel.
I participated in Greenhouse from August till December 2009. In these six months, with the support of my tutor, Nenad Puhovski and the Greenhouse team the concept of my film "Tales of the defeated" changed very much. I think that first of all I needed to understand how little I knew about my own story, which I thought I had complete grasp of. This wasn't always easy and pleasant, but Greenhouse is also a place that allows you to get confused and lost in a safe environment, which is, in my opinion necessary for a deep creative process.
One of the most unique points in Greenhouse is the meeting with the other filmmakers. It was a relief that we could all meet as professionals, people with unique stories and a passion to tell them and still - not ignoring the complicated local politics.
I am very thankful for these six months and really hope to keep the dialog with the tutors and with the other participants going after the last seminar.

A letter from documentary filmmaker who participated in Greenhouse's Seminar
My name is Dani Menkin and I have been a documentary filmmaker for more than 15 years now, my last film 39 Pounds of Love (18 Kilo's of Love) was sold to HBO and was on the Oscars short list. I thought I knew a lot about documentary before coming to GH. But I was wrong. The seminar proved to me how much more can I learn.
I gained not only from the communication with the mentors, but also from my fellow filmmakers I have had the honor of meeting at GH.
The intensive 3 days workshop was an adventure I will take with me on my future films.
Best, Dani Menkin

Personal experience in Greenhouse: Mohamed S. Hassan
Participating in the Greenhouse Program has been one of the most beneficial and inspiring experiences in my film career and education. Through its three seminars, Greenhouse gave me the tools I needed to develop a full-fledged proposal, not only for this particular film, but also for other film projects I developed later on. Engaging in a continuous dialogue with the mentors, the Greenhouse team, guest lecturers and fellow young filmmakers over the period of 7 months has helped me look at the film more critically and from different perspectives, and encouraged me to develop my own style. In addition, the pitching forum at the end of the project was a great opportunity to market the project and also develop solid relationships with producers, commissioning editors and film fund managers Europe and North America. The atmosphere of support I enjoyed at Greenhouse and the network I developed will always be something to remember. – Mohamed S. Hassan -
