Some Film Projects

Garden of Life

Best Friends May Naim & Lotan Abir were brutally murdered at the Nova Festival on October 7th. The film explores the profound impact on their families, friends, the tight-knit Moshav community and the survivors  both as events unfolded, and in the aftermath. How do they cope? How can they continue?  The Moshav acts as a microcosm of Israel: small, intimate, where everyone knows everyone, and no one is left untouched by events.

Israeli Innovation & Sustainability

Join journalist, presenter, actress and activist, Lucy Ahrish, on a journey across Israel, as she gets to know the amazing people, initiatives and projects which are promoting a cleaner environment, quality education, innovative health solutions and more. Israel has come a long way and will continue to work even harder to implement the United Nations' Sustainable Development Goals.

Kendago - We Get What We Give

Gary has been involved in making a variety of corporate videos, adverts, and multimedia projects. This is a fun video made for the Kendago HR Team

Judah & Mohammad

Judah & Mohammad is an intimate portrait of two teenage boys, one from Israel and the other from Palestine, filmed over 18 months. As their personal development is shaped by the conflict that goes on around them and as violence in the Middle East reaches boiling point, the film features access to the pair's classrooms, where history lessons are as much about the present as past events.

Looi the Cat

Looi is a charming and engaging series, carefully crafted to both entertain and aid the development of babies, toddlers and young children. The series was meticulously researched and developed for babies and toddlers, where every element has been carefully crafted to meet the specific needs of these key ages. The original music is built upon the basic elements of classical music (melody, harmony and rhythm) and tailored specifically to their sensitive ears.
