Seminar
The "Best of the Best" celebrating 5 years of the London Greek Film Festival (LGFF) at the Michael Cacoyianni Foundation in Athens November 2012. In December 2013 we celebrated the years winners. It was a great opportunity to honor Greek Talent in Film-making. Congratulations to all!
"Sophie Papadopoulos has been a Jury memember since 2009, I really appreciate her professionalism, responsibility and commitment to being a Juror. Her contribution to our festival is voluntary and she is enthusiastic, creative and very helpful. Sophie is very committed to promoting and supporting the Greek filmmakers and industry; as a producer and acting coach, she is offering her skills, experience and insight."

Gary Grossman is a 22 year member of the BHP, and is currently Producing Director for the school, a member of its teaching staff, and Artistic Director for the Katselas Theatre Company. He has produced over 200 stage plays, including over 50 world premieres.
"The Beverly Hills Playhouse, one of Los Angeles oldest and most respected acting schools had been looking to branch out internationally, upon meeting Sophie Papadopoulos and learning about IWA, we discovered how much we share. This past March (2010) the BHP partnered with IWA to host a week long workshop in Los Angeles with Greek actors. It was such a huge success that more are being planned and I can't say enough of how professional Sophie and IWA are. The BHP has most definitely found an international partner in IWA....it had always been a dream of Milton's to go to Greece, teach and to have actors travel back and forth...Last week that dream became a reality.With the help of a good friend of Milton's and mine, Sophie Papadopoulos."
