Dani Menkin

Dani Menkin (Hebrew : דני מנקין, born June 22, 1970) is a Los Angeles-based writer, director, and film producer.

Menkin is a speaker at some distinguished panels over International Festivals around the world, as well as a juror and film professor in American and Israeli universities and colleges.

[7] Menkin has collaborated with other filmmakers and creatives—most recently interviewing the creators of sports documentary miniseries The Last Dance, and featured on a podcast alongside basketball all-star Chris Webber.

A documentary film which follows Ami Ankilewitz, who was diagnosed at childhood with an extremely rare form of SMA/2 that severely limits his physical growth and movement.

[14] Directed along with Jonathan Nir, this documentary film tells the story of Morad, a teenage boy from an Arab village in the north of Israel, who suffered a violent attack, which led to trauma.

[17] Moments after this highly charged and historical win, Israeli-American basketball hero Tal Brody captured the heart of the nation when he famously said, "Israel is on the map, not just in sport, but in everything."

The Israeli players immediately responded to Aulcie's leadership and that year they had what one Sports Illustrated writer described as "the most extraordinary season in its remarkable history" and what Perry later called "the best nine months of my life."

After the season, to the surprise of many, Aulcie Perry converted to Judaism, adopted the Hebrew name Elisha Ben Avraham, and became an Israeli citizen.

This inspiring film tells the story of this remarkable athlete who captured the spirit of a nation, triumphant and victorious against all odds, and put Israel on the map.

The story follows Jason, a failed stand-up comedian who takes his little son to an imaginary town over the mountains, to look for his mother who has passed away.
