Comedy, Jewish
2024, Amnon Carmi, USA
With Benjamin Ducoff, Annabelle Steven
Consider a Bronx high school drama teacher getting around budget cuts by funding the school’s spring musical with illegal gambling loot. That’s the wacky plot premise cooked up by writer/director Carmi and co-writer/actor Ducoff, partners in crime since the fourth grade. Desperate for funding, teacher Bernstein (Ducoff, a real-life NYC high school teacher) gets tipped off to a high-stakes underground gambling ring where Yaniv, “the Blackjack of the Jewish people,” is the game of choice. The catch? The secret basement nightclub is run by and for a tight-knit group of Hasidic men, and Bernstein and his pal Jonah don’t have a ghost of a chance at passing, until…the pair don Orthodox disguises complete with fake beards, and it is game on.
“A wild comedic ride.”–Ashley Zlatopolski, Detroit Jewish News
“A fun and funny thriller with a lot of heart.”–Alan Ng, FilmThreat
