King of the Jews

King of the Jews is a film about fear and transcendence.  Utilizing Hollywood movies, 1950's educational films, personal home movies and religious films spanning the history of cinema, the filmmaker depicts his childhood fear of Jesus Christ. These childhood recollections are a point of departure for larger issues, including the roots of Christian anti-Semitism and the need for forgiveness and healing.

Premiered at the Sundance Film Festival. Winner of Grand Prize, USA Film Festival
