Not just aspiring filmmaker. Inspiring! I really enjoyed this and your previous one. You are a talented filmmaker. Keep up the good work, and keep bringing people’s stories to life!

I wish MP would restart his weekly comedic news presentations. I thought that had great potential. There’s no one in that space in Jewish comedy. maybe also a guest show type like Letterman…

We loved the Mendy report and your other hilarious shows. Mendy also helped Shluchim with personalized videos before yomim tovim. Classics. I wish he would restart that.

And the Shnikel Kawutzel Whopper were born in CGI Detroit. So was Itche Kadoozy and other greats.

Those memories in Detroit… I think all he had to do was open his mouth, and before uttering a word everyone was on the floor catching their breath. Good times.

I was close with Mendy’s father, Yosef in LA.
I visited him after his marriage in Crown Htgs. Mendy was small then.
But Yosef was always to me the greatest! R.I.P.
