The red carpet gala at the Saban Theater in Beverly Hills opened up The Los Angeles Film Festival, celebrating the power of film to express the extensive Jewish experience throughout the world.
The red carpet featured some of the stars of the films that will screen during the festival. Glamgical had the opportunity to interview two of the actors of “Midas Man”, Jay Leno and Jonah Lees. The film is a tribute to Brian Epstein, manager of The Beatles. Leno plays TV host Ed Sullivan and Lees plays John Lennon.
We also interviewed the Vice Major of Beverly Hills, John A. Mirisch, who delivered a moving message to the audience, stressing the importance of supporting the Jewish community in times of need.
We also talked briefly with the creators of “Guns & Moses”, a film that will open up in theaters on July 18 across the America. Writer and Director Salvador Litvak and Writer Nina Litvak encouraged our viewers to support this film, which depicts a Rabbi who decides to fight back when his community gets attacked.
