Arnon Shorr
Director
Arnon is an Israeli/American modern-Orthodox Jewish filmmaker
who lives and works in Los Angeles. His award-winning shorts and features have
screened in festivals across the country.
His work includes award-winning feature films, dozens of shorts, and a Jewish comedy
web-series that was featured on the front page of the Wall Street Journal. He is an
Israeli/American with a blended heritage of European and North African ancestry,
including family that was expelled from Portugal – like his characters in this film – by the
Inquisition in the late 15 th century.
In addition to making films, Arnon has taught film history, production and post-production
courses at several high schools and colleges.
Arnon is an active storyteller, not an observer of moments. Whether it’s dark or comedic,
he thinks the audience must feel a part of the scene, embraced by the story. He thinks
movies need to transport us, even if it’s just to the house next door. Where would you like
to go? Let him take you.
