The deputy minister in the ministry of the head of the government, Michael Oren ("Kulan"), formerly the ambassador of Israel to the United States and having extensive ties in North America, actively promotes the idea of ​​creating "Israeli Hollywood."

It is about the idea of ​​participation of Israeli film studios, companies, actors and specialists in the creation of movies and serials at the international level.

"His enviable connections in the world of filmmakers Michael Oren used to create a" dream factory in the Holy Land "after Hollywood and Indian Bollywood, Hollywood," the press release on the topic said.

The ministry of the head of government is already completing the development of a pilot project to attract foreign producers to shoot films and serials in Israel.

It should be noted that the volume of the television and film products market amounted to $ 550 billion in 2013, and if at least four large projects are filmed in Israel, it will replenish the state treasury of the Jewish state for a substantial amount of 100-200 million shekels a year. The corresponding calculations were made at the request of the ministry of the head of government by the consulting company KPMG.

"I am convinced that if the government creates a stimulating environment for the arrival of cinematographic and television projects in Israel, we will be able to turn Israel into one of the most attractive sites for filming," said Michael Oren and continued:

"In this regard, Israel has huge advantages: comfortable weather conditions, a variety of natural landscapes in a small area, as well as colorful types: after all, our citizens come from different countries and different ethnic groups.

Add to this the highest level of our experts in the field of high technologies, which can be used to create large-scale film and television projects. "
