We are hustling!!! Editor Lauren Pecson-Anderson has joined our Luthier team along with Assistant Editor Caleb Downs!!! Caleb worked all last month with Director Justin Toops and myself and we now have a string out. On to the Rough Cut!!!

We were in Berlin filming the premier of Berthold Tuercke's Concerto for 53 Violins of Hope. A year later, we've completed principle photography and are setting up for post production. In that year, we've filmed the Weinsteins in Colorado and Israel, interviewed four of the most talented violinists in the world, all of whom grew up in the Luthier's shop in Israel. The Brobst Violin Shop, Avshi Weinstein and Pinchas Zukerman

As we approach the end of 2025, we have some exciting news about 2026. In the first few days of January we will be conducting interviews with two of the world's greatest violin virtuosos about getting their start in the Weinstein shop in Tel Aviv and their memories of the Weinsteins. Last month, we were extremely fortunate to catch virtuoso Shlomo Mintz while we were filming in Israel. The interview was powerful, emotional, and inciteful. Cannot wait to share clips with you and the world...
