Miron got his first break in screenwriting when he got selected by Annet Betsalel, head of the Jewish Broadcasting, the Dutch Filmfund and Mediafund where they developed his film “Parparim” (Butterflies).
It's a story of a Liberal Jewish girl from Amsterdam and an Orthodox Jewish boy from Israel who don't want to communicate with each other because of their differences, but by his music and her magic tricks they bond. It was broadcasted on TV, won awards and was sold internationally.
Miron was also selected for the Rutger Hauer Film Factory Masterclass in Rotterdam where he was one of the six screenwriters selected internationally. The film “HeartCore” is a poetic story about an artist who can no longer communicate to his beloved and need to create a new and final way to show her his love.
This film was broadcasted on Dutch TV and shown at the International Film Festival Rotterdam. It has the most views on Youtube from all masterclasses and is one of Rutger Hauer's favorites.
