In my endless search for interesting places for screenplays, I try to check out foreign films to see how filmmakers use locations because what’s ordinary to them is exotic to us. Seeing what’s around you with fresh eyes can create depth and contrast in your work. Using a location well is like Jackie Chan using every prop in an action scene.
The films in The Jewish Festival seem intriguing.
