I just returned from Abu Dhabi last week. One of my screenplays was selected as a finalist for the Shasha Grant Screenplay competition and was flown to Abu Dhabi for the Circle Conference.

For two days we traveled throughout the country on a retreat to learn about Bedouin Culture while getting to know the panelists attending the conference.
The Conference had panels everyday with a key note speaker everynight including: the directors Spike Lee, McG and actor Antonio Banderas.

For the competition, we were matched with mentors to hone our pitch, then we pitched some Hollywood heavyweights. Then we attended the opening night of the Middle East Film Festival before returning home.

I loved the experience of the retreat. It was so relaxing to be out in the desert under the stars. The whole trip was the opportunity of a life time. I loved getting to know His Excellency Salem Ebrahim Al Mazrouei and hear about his culture and stories of living in Los Angeles. He was the perfect guide for the retreat and showing us the best of the Bedouin culture.

The mentor session gave me the opportunity to hone my pitch and feedback that my mentors Bob Yari and Hal Sadoff, Head of Film at ICM offered was great. It was a challenge to pitch Kathleen Kennedy, Ashok Amritraj and Jim Gianopulos and I did not win the competition. However, the trip was fantastic and for the experience and the contacts, we are all winners.

See attached two pictures taken after my pitch in Abu Dhabi.

Opportunities this like competition make years of hard work all worth it...

All the very best,

Cheers,

Rob

What We do.

PHILOSOPHY

Some call their film project „Baby”, others speak of it like it's a military campaign. Many talk about material or packages, as if they were a shipping company.
We regard our film projects as friends who live with us. Life's not been easy on our flatmates (troubled childhood, political persecution, lovesickness...). Sometimes they might have to put their feet on the table, eat the cookies in bed or shed tears into the wine glass. Sometimes they're overdue with the rent or with the dishes. But they make us laugh and cry, entertain our guests and bring in flowers they've picked. They'll clear out the crumbs. And we'll be a little bit sad when they move out to conquer the theatres.

YOUR STORY IS HOMELESS?

We're always looking for new, entertaining, moving stories told for the big screen. If you want to find a place for your story to live, don't hesitate to send it to us. If it drops by in exposé form and by e-mail, we promise to reply (please no faxes, no phone calls)!
