Testimonials

It was such a valuable experience and I feel like I won't absorb it all until I go back over my notes in the coming weeks. I'm looking forward to it!
Danielle WolffTV Screenwriter
Great mentors, very interesting panels and lovely people. The mix of producers, agents and writers was great and very inspiring. It helped me to develop my script not only from an artistic point of view, but also taking into account the needs of the industry. The workshop also provided a good insight into the US system and the Greek film industry.

It was an absolute privilege to spend time and learn from mentors who are leaders in their fields and participants who are so talented in a city with some of the oldest stories in the world. A truly enriching and unforgettable experience!

I just wanted to thank you both personally for The Owl workshop last week - it was the most amazing experience, and so well run, and I hope you both got to take some time off to relax afterwards. I've had to help organize similar events before, and I know how much work goes into everything, and it was very much appreciated.
