We knew from our history what it meant to be Jewish, but I didn’t know what it felt like on my body until Hitler rose to power.

PROJECT TIMELINE

We are currently in post-production with the goal of completing our rough cut in the fall of 2023, fine cut by the end of 2023, and picture lock in early 2024. Our goal is to premiere at a major film festival in spring/summer 2024 accompanied by a robust impact strategy, educational campaign, and community outreach that addresses surging antisemitism, wartime sexual violence and the intersection of gender attacks and racial hate as an early indicator of genocide.

FUNDRAISING PLAN

Our total production budget has been met thanks to generous grants from: the National Endowment for the Humanities, Claims Conference, Jewish Story Partners, New York State Council on the Arts, NYC Women’s Fund for Media, Music and Theatre, New York Foundation for the Arts, Remembrance and Future Foundation, Spungen Family Foundation, Karma Foundation, Memorial Foundation for Jewish Culture and many private donors. Fox is a 2022 Jewish Film Institute resident, sponsored by the San Francisco Jewish Film Festival, won Pitch Royale at the Australian International Screen Forum, and was a finalist at Paley Doc Pitch.
