We Played Marbles

World Premiere

Our documentary, We Played Marbles: Remembering a Stolen Childhood, a Jewish Federation of Greater Santa Barbara Film, Directed and Produced by me and Jennie Reinish, debuted at The Santa Barbara Film Festival on Saturday, January 26th.
It was a very emotional day, checkered with challenge and lit by loved ones.

The screening of the movie was followed by a Q & A where the Holocaust Survivors highlighted in the film answered questions from the audience. These people are so gracefully eloquent. I was in awe and I am honored to know them.

For stress relief, I made this movie. It makes you feel like you can fly, because with the right equipment, you can.

Be well and safe!
