It was an honor and a blast to premiere LOST CAUSE at the Roxie as part of SF Jewish. Thank you all for having me!

The venue was packed and the Q&A afterwards was lively and super interesting. One passionate audience member described our musical as Bo Burnham meets Green Day, which is flattering!

Lost Cause A film about an allegorical musical about a Yom Kippur service that goes off the rails and transforms into an attempted community therapy session.

My new movie “Lost Cause” will premiere this Sunday at the Roxie in SF as part of the San Francisco Jewish Film Festival.

The movie is a radical micro-budget political musical that I’ve been working on since 2020. I’m stoked to share it with the world.

The most interesting movies are often made by folks who study something entirely unrelated to film for the first 30+ years of their lives, and the most boring movies are often the debut features of film school grads.

Your hair is a mess
Like Patti Smith or Billy Idol
The rip in your dress:
An accident so fashion-forward
Lean on me
I’ll lean on you
We’ll hold each other up.
