Hollywood Veteran Turns to Jewish History
Stanley Isaacs, a seasoned filmmaker known for the last decade for chronicling Hollywood’s golden years, is now turning his lens to a deeper, more personal subject: the Jewish experience, or more so, the human experience with stories that encompass stories of love and hate, tragedy and triumph.
While others of his generation are winding down, Isaacs has teamed with producer Dan Kodsi to launch Envision Pictures. The companies mission statement is to bring history to life through timeless sagas that are thrilling spiritual journeys filled with love, suspense, and drama. Stories that seamlessly blend historical facts, written scripture, and omnipresent light. Each film will be crafted to entertain and illuminate, leaving audiences inspired and moved by true events that have shaped our world. Their first two projects are “8 Days of Light and “Purim Fest 1946.” The films blend history, mysticism and fiction, interweaving biblical themes, holidays, and lesser-known chapters of Jewish heritage into what Isaacs calls “spiritual adventures.”
