Sharon,
Your guidance, intelligence, negotiating skills, productions
smarts,
location awareness and sense of story made our difficult
assignment seem easy. Everything worked. In my twenty eight
years as an NBC News correspondent I've collaborated with
plenty of talented people all over the world. You are the
best of the lot. You are also a kind, gracious and humorous
soul, qualities that add a positive and enjoyable air to
our demanding occupation.
Thank you Sharon. I now know why you are so highly regarded.

Sharon,
It was truly a delight working with you...you always had
the answers and made our jobs so much easier because of
your expertise. We were delighted with Biblical Productions
and we so appreciate all of your and Anika's hard work.
Thank you so very much for everything!
I do hope our paths cross again soon!
Gratefully, your friend

Hi Sharon,
I just wanted to write you a quick note to personally thank
you for all you did for the whole Word on Fire team while
we were there. Our experience was fabulous thanks to all
of our hard work! We also really enjoyed being with you!
Father Barron was so thankful and appreciative of all you
did. Because of you I am sure our production will be the
best.
Thanks for everything and I hope our paths cross again.

Dear All,
Congratulations on last week’s success! Both Heather
and I are delighted that we were able to introduce you to
Osnat and Najeeba and that the filming went so well.
Linda and Anika, it was a pleasure to watch you work. Sharon,
though we did not get to meet, I know how hard you worked
to pull this opportunity together in a short timeframe,
and I thank you. And John, we did it!
Heather is working to pull together our photos in a format
that she can send to you. We look forward to receiving your
photos too, in whatever medium is easiest. And of course,
we’d look forward to hearing when you expect we will
have the footage to review, and to identifying how we can
be most helpful as we move forward.
Finally, we had some exciting discussions with Osnat and
Najeeba and our other partners in Israel about possible
release events for the film; do let us know a sense of the
production schedule so that we can together leverage opportunities
for the finished product.
I am deeply grateful to James Kidner for connecting us.
Shall we plan a call soon?
With warm regards,
Joyce

Hi Anika
Just to say thanks so much for being so brilliant on the
shoot and what a pleasure it was to work with you and the
crew.I see that Germany beat Turkey and you've got the final
you were hoping for. So I'll be thinking of you on Sunday
night.I had a great morning yesterday (thanks for your birthday
call by the way). I'm looking forward to seeing if I can
make the tahini thing work this weekend now that I know
the secret.
Haven't been able to take a look at the rushes as I was
forgetting we don't have a HD DV Cam deck here - we only
have the HD deck that takes the large tapes, so we'll be
renting one for a day next week to digitise the small tapes
in. I'll let you know when we're editing in case you get
emails from anyone asking.
best to you
Linda

To Whom It May Concern:
I am writing to thank Biblical Productions and their amazing
Producer Sharon for helping us out on our shoot in the holy
land. In late February I needed to send an ENG crew from
Los Angeles, California to Jerusalem to shoot the main footage
for our 5 hour DVD series on the Bible. Sharon was amazing
in helping my team get done what needed to be done. She
suggested a great hotel for our stay and even coordinated
car service and airport pickup for my crew. Sharon pre-scouted
and met with authorities involved with our multiple city
shoot and wrote all the necessary letters and confirmations
to confirm and pay location fees and donations . I was informed
by my crew that they had never worked with such a professional
team and that Sharon kept them on schedule even when my
Cinematographer wanted to shoot more, which helped me out
with the overtime, when normally I would have no control
with a crew a whole country away.
Sincerely,

Dear Sharon
Where to begin a thank you!?
You pulled off miracles.
You let nothing stand in your way.
You're were ever calm, charming, can-do, thoughtful, creative,
efficient and lovely to work with - the perfect field producer.
We had a fabulous few days, and it's absolutely down to
you - and I shouldn't forget Anika and the crew too.
A thousand thank you's for taking such wonderful care of
me. We're thrilled with the footage.
I'm sure it won't be long before we're back filming in
your fabulous country
Lots of love to you,
Seb Grant

Hi Sharon,
How you doing? I just want to thank you for looking after
us during our stay in Israel. It’s been most enjoyable!
We spent a lot of time at the beach in Tel Aviv and managed
to experience some of the night life, shopping and culture
in the space of 2 days. We all got a bit tanned which is
nice to see. Great suggestions!
On behalf of the crew, I would like to thank you for all
the hard work and professionalism you brought in; ensuring
us a trouble-free stay.
Keep in touch,

To Whom It May Concern:
This letter of recommendation for Sharon Schaveet is written
with great pleasure. Earlier this year, my crew and I traveled
from the U.S. to Israel
for a film shoot. While in the region, we ran into a number
of complications and difficult situations, but Sharon’s
knowledge and experience, along with her
positive attitude and professionalism, proved to be our
saving grace.
Sharon provided invaluable production assistance to our
crew in Israel. Without hesitation, I highly recommend any
production in the area to
take advantage of her exceptional skills and expertise.

I just wanted to thank you for all your help in with our
t American Jewish Committee film. From the moment we stepped
off the plane we knew we were in good hands. Uzi got us
with our equipments through customs with no problems. You
and Haggit schedule our days extremely efficiently as well
as fixing interviews for us that we never thought we were
able to obtain. You even confirm our travel arrangement
for our next stop. Berlin. And Shuki not only got us to
our locations ahead of schedule and help us with audio &
lighting as well as taking us to some wonderful restaurants
and letting us see Jerusalem like locals. All of you contribute
greatly to our film.
It will be shown in the AJC annual meeting in Washington
DC on the 4th of May and George W. Bush will be attendance.
I will never consider calling anyone else when working
in Israel and will certainly recommend you to all my colleagues.
Thank you for a very present experience.

To Whom It May Concern:
I am writing to thank Biblical Productions and their talented,
amazing Producer Sharon for helping with pre production,
production and post production for a feature documentary
DIAMETER OF THE BOMB. Sharon is a one stop outlet –
her access to people and companies and her skills are the
best in the country. She was the production manager on a
4 weeks shoot in 2003 for DIAMETER OF THE BOMB which is
being released theatrically by Lionsgate and ThinkFILM Sharon
was amazing in helping my team get done what needed to be
done. She suggested local crew, hotels, restaurants, equipment
houses etc for the shoot Sharon pre-scouted and met with
high level authorities involved in the film and with our
multiple city shoot and she wrote all the necessary letters
and confirmations to confirm and pay location fees and donations.
I can with out a doubt recommend Sharon/Biblical Productions
for anything that needs to be done in Israel.
Yours sincerely,

Sharon,
I just wanted to thank you for all your hard work. You
have gone above and beyond to help us achieve success in
this project. Without you we would not have accomplished
the filming necessary to complete our productions. You have
been great to work with and I want you to know how much
we appreciate you. Thanks for taking such great care of
our teams, for your honesty, and for managing so many crews
at the last minute. I hope there will be many more projects
in the future we can work on together.

To whom it may concern:
I am writing in order to bring to your attention the outstanding
services that Biblical Productions recently provided for
our international music company, Done and Dusted.
Producer Sharon Schaveet’s exemplary organisational
and communication skills not only enabled the smooth transition
of a high profile recording artist and film crew to Israel
from Egypt on a very tight schedule, but she and her company
arranged for the world class production of a global film
project to be shot in Jerusalem, employing top Israeli crew
and equipment on a slim budget.
We have worked with many production companies all over
the world, but Biblical Productions’ professional
approach made a superb impression. Their care and attention
to detail secured beautiful images for our project, which
is set to be launched all over the world in the New Year.
Should you require any further information, please do not
hesitate to contact me directly. We cannot recommend Biblical
Productions highly enough.
Yours sincerely

So I just need to thank you again. You are EXCELLENT at
what you do and I really do hope we have the chance to work
together again.
Be well.
