The songs came first
I began making songs in English in 2017, as singles and for a future show called Jewish the Musical. I paid to present the idea at events where writers could pitch to producers.
One producer liked the idea and invited me to his festival, where I presented twelve of my songs to a ticket-buying audience. That performance qualified me to join The Dramatists Guild of America. JEWISH now brings the developing story to film.
The story moves to film
I am completing the screenplay myself with AI-assisted tools. The creative choices are mine. Production decisions come after the finished script.
