As a young girl, Rotem Alima had a vision to become an Executive Producer. She doesn’t know where that idea came from, but it was a vision that just continued to stay inside her.
Rotem is the epitome of having and keeping that vision, not saying no to obstacles. Because of her tenacity, a door finally opened leading to opportunities to reach her dream.
During her career she has worked with large, international brands, popular television programs, the highest government offices in Israel and single-handedly built her own successful production business.
She produced six movies which were featured around the world, winning her an Oscar and an Israeli Academy Award. Her films include Once There was a Girl and Paris on the Water.
Rotem’s next vision is looking at an Emmy Award. She believes in committing to a goal, believing and investing in yourself because it’s the best investment you'll ever make.
Even in the competitive world of Hollywood, Rotem’s advice is sound. She says, “I truly believe that everything is possible. I honestly believe that I can do anything. And that if you work hard enough, if you believe hard enough, if you try enough times, it will happen.”
Rotem’s story is uplifting. I hope you take the time to listen and become inspired.
