Daniel Kremer and Deniz Demirer are hard at work finishing the final edit of their feature-length film Ezer Kenegdo, starring themselves and featuring Kris Caltagirone, Rob Nilsson and Josh Safdie. A first trailer was released to the public in June 2013. Lensed primarily in San Francisco with additional locations in Brooklyn, New York, Ezer Kenegdo tells the story of a Chabad Lubavitcher Chassid just returned from a time of having gone "off the derech" (i.e. leaving the community in which he was raised) who travels to the Bay Area to visit his Polish-born Catholic friend so they can get a meeting with a controversial art world iconoclast who is about to destroy a lifetime's worth of his own artwork. Frictions develop between the two friends as they await their audience with the mad genius.
