Zaytoun ( Hebrew : זייתון , Arabic : زيتون , romanized : Zaytūn , " Olive ") is a 2012 Israeli adventure thriller film directed by Eran Riklis and produced by Gareth Unwin and Fred Ritzenberg. It premiered in September 2012 at the Toronto International Film Festival . The screenplay was written by Nader Rizq, a Palestinian -American living in the United States. What started as a hobby in 1991 ended up making the semi-finals of the 2001 Nicholl Fellowships run by the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences. Subsequent re-writes again placed in the Nicholls and semi-finaled in the Ohio Independent Screenplay Awards. In late 2007, American producer Fred Ritzenberg came aboard and helped further develop the script. Google translate, Arabic to English " Programmer's Note " .
