Laura Bialis celebrates one year since she moved to Sderot to make a movie about (whoda thought?) the town's music scene.
But in my year here, I have forged an unbreakable connection to this place. Maybe I’m just a small town person who’s been stuck in a big city most of my life, or maybe the artist in me felt constrained dealing with the film industry in LA. All I can report, is that I have learned more in this, my 35th year, than any other in my life.
Outside of New York City, Sderot is literally one of the most diverse places I have ever been . . .
When I first arrived, I was shocked by the amount of music, culture, and sheer talent that could emerge from one small city. It’s been difficult to choose who to focus the film on. People are writing, rehearsing, and performing here daily.
