A Prayer in January is a short film that I’ve made for the final exam of my first year of film studies in Sapir College, Israel. What was originally an excersize, with a crew of 5 people, had slwoly become quite successful in many film festivals, mostly gay and lesbian themed.
In 2009 I’ve uploaded a trailer to youtube. In 2013, while checking out the youtube link in sake of nostalgy, I was shocked to discover that the trailer was viewed almost 2.5 MILLION times. The youtube comments page was filled with notes of viewers from around the world, who wanted to watch the full version – which is only 10 minutes… Due to copyrights I was unable to upload the entire film, but after seen all these requests, I’ve decided to clear some of the rights issues and offer the film publicly.
