A filmmaker places an ad on Craigslist: Seeking Hasidic Researcher. ‘Marty’ answers. They agree to collaborate, record their phone calls, and never to meet, in this unorthodox work of non-fiction.


At 'Marty's' request, his name has been fabricated and his voice altered to protect his identity. [Turn on Closed Captioning for better comprehension]

This film was created as a filmmaker in residence at the UnionDocs Filmmakers Collaborative for nonfiction with Laura Mayer and Matthew Yoka as part of Living Los Sures . It has screened at UnionDocs, the Harvard Film Center, The Boston Jewish Film Festival, The Washington Jewish Film Festival, and Anthology Film Archives, among others. A variation of the piece exists as a podcast episode of Love + Radio and appeared in the NYTimes. An installation version exhibited at the New York Film Festival and at Megapolis Audio Festival
