Director’s bio:
Yisrael Rigler grew up in the Old City of Jerusalem in an ultra-Orthodox American family. After military service and a trip to the East, he came out of the closet as bisexual. Yisrael graduated from Maaleh film school after four years of full-time study. During his studies, he worked as a stills and video photographer, commercial, video director, and established an independent video production business – Lensko Productions. Yisrael’s second-year film “Something Blue” has been screened at numerous international film festivals.
“Fatman” is Yisrael’s graduating narrative film.
All my life I’ve been artistic. When I found the cinema, I discovered I could tell my story while at the same time explore my artistic talent. I wrote my story through characters, and learned a lot about other issues and problems not necessarily mine. I realized if I wanted my vision to come true I would have to excite my team and lead them to a specific goal. In the end, everyone gave everything they had, and I’m so pleased with the results. It was a meaningful experience for me because from this movie, I realized I was going to be a director.
