Submission letter for Reboot Studios.
(The content below is the "Writer Statement")
My core mission is to combat antisemitism by transforming the word "Jewish" into a global, friendly, and inclusive brand.
JEWISH (the series) is my personal and professional answer to a world increasingly fractured by hatred and political division. I was born in the USSR to Mountain Jewish parents, a heritage defined by the fight to preserve identity at the crossroads of cultures. I know firsthand that the hardest thing in the world is finding common ground.
The mission of JEWISH is simple: to prove that music is the ultimate antidote to hatred and the fastest route to humanize the 'other.'
This is not a "too Jewish" show. It is a humanist show that tactfully and comedically dismantles dangerous stereotypes. We answer the question: "What is modern Jewish identity?" We show it is not just religion; it is a shared set of values: humanism, education, kindness, honesty - that we share with all great cultures.
We will show on screen how walls of hatred and alienation crumble when young people from diverse backgrounds share fusion food at the Jewish Snack cafe, learn global dances, and find their common humanity through a single, powerful song.
JEWISH is a story about becoming wiser and better humans. It’s the essential, authentic, and entertaining story the world needs to watch right now.
