time for a little work announcement!
a film called BENT, which I’ve had the joy of producing for the talented filmmaker @samb0nes will be having a local screening presented by @vicesports at the @brooklynfilmfestival on tuesday, june 2nd at 8pm. It’s a memorable, entertaining short about a twelve-year-old boy from a family of demolition derby drivers who tries to prove himself by competing in his first derby, but finds the validation he’s seeking is elusive. Put a link in my bio for tickets. We’d love to see you there for a great night of screening including two other exciting shorts.

Today I’m celebrating 1 year of marriage to @chezalexa_ She is the most loving, supportive, warm, and inspiring partner, and I’m so grateful we’re by each other’s sides. Wishing everyone love happiness and peace, and I love you Alexa!!! 💛❤️💛❤️
Excited to share the news that SABBATH QUEEN, a film I’ve been co-producing over the last few years, will have its world premiere at this year’s @tribeca film festival in June!
Filmed over 21 years, @sabbathqueenfilm follows @amichailaulavie (also my 2nd cousin 1nce removed) on his epic journey as the dynastic heir of 38 generations of Orthodox rabbis. He rejects his traditional destiny and becomes a drag-queen rebel, a queer father, and the founder of @labshul . Congrats to director @sandidubowski and the entire wonder team!!
It's my second post in as many days, but I'd be remiss if I didn't share this electrifying sequence captured by @ben.gottesman this past long weekend -- tentatively meeting a deer on the Rhode Island coast. 🙏 Ben
