This suspenseful and heartfelt drama raises one of the most difficult questions in modern history: were the murderers of millions of children, women and men, evil monsters or ordinary men? Could each and every one of us be capable of the unimaginable?<\/p>\n

She began her filmmaking path in the Israeli film and television industry, spent four years in Prague as a writer and director, and has since carried her talents to Los Angeles.<\/p>\n Since moving to the U.S, she has directed four films and the acclaimed theatre show \u201cThe Physicists\u201d by Friedrich Durrenmatt<\/a>. In 2019 she started her own theatre company, The Social Stage, which opened with a sold out run of \u201cMarx in Soho\u201d by Howard Zinn<\/a>. Her film \u201cJust in Case\u201d<\/a> won the Special Jury Selection Award at the Lady Filmmakers Film Festival<\/a> and the Award of Merit at the Los Angeles Cinema Festival of Hollywood<\/a>.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/fablehouse.tv\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/IMG_9801.jpg” alt=”Ye’ela Rosenfeld” title_text=”Ye’ela Rosenfeld” _builder_version=”4.10.8″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.10.8″ global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n \u201cHedgehog\u201d explores the deeply conflicting elements of humanity that co-exist in a person who has helped commit mass murder: cruelty contrasted with charm, inhuman apathy contrasted with a brittle and vulnerable soul.

The film takes place in a nursing home and we utilized different rooms in the church to look like it.”<\/em><\/p>\n How long was production?<\/p>\n “We shot for three days.”<\/em><\/p>\n Any stories you’d like to share from production?<\/p>\n “Hedgehog was almost shot twice before. The first time it was planned to be shot in August 2018 at the American Jewish University in Bel Air with an entirely different cast and production team. It was in pre-production but then got canceled when an investor pulled out. The second time, it was supposed to be shot in April 2020 at the Melrose Gardens Senior home, again with an entirely different cast and production team. Needless to say, due to the global pandemic, this too did not happen and had to be canceled a few weeks before shooting. So this was the third and finally successful attempt of realizing this script.”<\/em><\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/fablehouse.tv\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/hedgehog-scr02.jpeg” alt=”Hedgehog” title_text=”Hedgehog” _builder_version=”4.10.8″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.10.8″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n What was your post-production process like?<\/p>\n “Post Production was a lot simpler, I edited the movie at home and with my husband who is an audio engineer and a sound designer doing the sound in our home studio and a family friend composing, it was all done “in house” pun intended. The only challenge was to discover that the main character’s birthmark, which was done by makeup, was not prominent enough and had to be enhanced in color correction. With a limited to no Post Production budget, we were lucky to rely on resourceful colorists to do it very quickly and for very little money…”<\/em><\/p>\n What’s your favorite shot in the video?<\/p>\n “Visually speaking I really like the scene by the window at dawn. I feel that it looks very compelling and atmospheric and the gentle rays of the sun rising at the end of it are absolutely beautiful.”<\/em><\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/fablehouse.tv\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/IMG_9908.jpg” alt=”Hedgehog” title_text=”Hedgehog” _builder_version=”4.10.8″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.10.8″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n Is the film available for viewers to watch now?
