It took a period of three months to direct this film, from the moment the script landed on my desk until it premiered in front of 3000 people at the National Buildings in Jerusalem. The casting process took merely three weeks and included casting 13 talented actresses who could breath life into a very exciting script. One of the roles of a good director is to make sure the set and wardrobe is accurate to the needs of the story. For the purpose of this task we looked into biblical inspiration, from choosing clothes that generate a certain atmospherec look, to building props and furniture that fits the period. The best artistic directors available were cherry picked to help us construct an ancient weaving house that takes a very significant part in the film. There are of course no pictures from that period so we used paintings and research done by historians and of course we added sprinkle of imagination and creativity. Before filming, in order to get better at directing the actors, I completed classes in the “Chubbuck” Technique with Shahar Rozen. That allowed me to speak with the actresses in a language they understand and can relate too, and the results were a more authentic feel as the story is revealed.
