José-Luis Escolar — Senior Line Producer:
“This is one amazing thing, too rare in our industry: communication, networking and wonderful people“.

Marco Valerio Pugini — Senior Line Producer:
“I have learned as much as any Junior here. The moment you stop learning, you are finished”.

Kaare Storemyr — Senior Line Producer:
“We, Norwegians, don’t speak a lot. But we mean what we say: it was an extremely positive and enjoyable experience”

Scott Kirby — Senior Assistant Director:
“I'm surprised at the level of intensity and creativity. Everyone was inspired and motivated to work beyond expectations. This course should have always been”.

Stuart Renfrew — Senior Assistant Director:
“Denis, can I become a lifetime member of Production Value?”

Michael Kissaun — Junior Line Producer:
“The course has blown my brain and changed my way of thinking. There was a point that I could almost feel as if we were starting principal photography the next day“.

Marianne van Hardevelt — Junior Line Producer:
“The most important thing that I’ve learnt was that the only way to get to a realistic budget is to research every single detail. You cannot make a proper budget by guessing and copying from former productions. I learned to study and research — not to assume”.

Karolina Heimburg — Junior Line Producer:
“What a nerve it gave to work with a real script and to get the opportunity to present it to the Producers and Directors in person! Back home, my husband will think that I have been dragged into some kind of sect”.

Leopold Wurm — Junior Line Producer:
“We shared unreserved wisdom. I have gained invaluable insight into making international co-productions”.

Lina Pedersen — Junior Line Producer:
“It didn't matter which skill level you had in advance because each and everyone had to step up and broaden his horizons to something new and different“.

Florian Nussbaumer — Junior Line Producer:
“First time I've spent a week in a hotel with film people and no one complained”.

Dragan Juric — Junior Assistant Director:
“I've learned so much that I can’t imagine how I managed before the course”.

Dörte Schneider — Junior Assistant Director:
“I’ve never had a similar experience before. Within one week I’ve maybe learned more than in an entire year at film school“.

Joost Van Schie — Junior Assistant Director:
“In the Netherlands, we don’t normally get involved in a project so early in the process. I will be taking a new approach after this”.

Jim Probyn — Junior Assistant Director:
“It was as if each individual project was hand picked for the participants so that nobody was left without a challenge“.

Ralf Siig — Junior Assistant Director:
“I realize that we all have the same problems and challenges regardless of where we come from, but we will all go back to our own countries and change the way we make films”.

Pierre Ellul — Junior Assistant Director:
“Intense. Fulfilling. Brilliant. If I had to choose three words to describe the experience I had, it would be these. And yet I don’t think that these words do it justice“.
