Jews and Baseball, edited by my friend Amy Carey Linton.
and Standing Silent, edited and co-produced by my friend Ellen Goldwasser.
Jews and Baseball was a fun night at the Fox Theater. The kick off for the festival.
Complete with organ music and a Jewish Cantor singing "Take Me Out to the Ballgame" in Hebrew. Lots of fun.
Standing silent is a powerful film that takes on the difficult issue of molestation in the Orthodox Jewish community, specifically in Baltimore, MD.
A moving story of one man's journey to uncover the deeply hidden secrets in a community that is very reluctant to face the ugly truth of damaged lives and corrupt leaders. A tough topic that is handled with grace and sensitivity.
