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
