All American Ruins: Nevele Grand Hotel
Director: Angel Gates
The Nevele Grand Resort in Ellenville, NY sits abandoned on 500+ acres near the foot of the Catskill Mountains of New York. What used to be a point of pride for Ulster County is now a painful, crumbling relic - with many stories to tell. For All-American Ruins creator Blake Pfeil, it is also a dreamscape, an artistic playground to reflect on questions about American history, culture, community folklore, economics, the environment, and mental health; and for the viewer, it's an invitation to activate their imagination as a tool for healing.
A Jew Grows in Brooklyn
Director: Jake Ehrenreich
Based on the hit show - the entertaining and inspiring tale of a Brooklyn born child of Holocaust survivors journey of acceptance - from Brooklyn to the Catskills. A Jew Grows in Brooklyn is based on the highly acclaimed hit show (and book) of the same name which traces the journey of Jake Ehrenreich – an entertainer and Brooklyn born child of Holocaust survivors.
