iMordecai
In first time writer and director Marvin Samel’s iMordecai, a series of unexpected events unfold when Marvin (Sean Astin) buys his father Mordecai (Judd Hirsch) an iPhone to replace his broken flip-phone. A Holocaust survivor, Mordecai’s relationship with his son is strained - the two distanced by a technological and cultural, generational divide. Meanwhile, his wife Fela (Carol Kane) is diagnosed with Alzheimer’s. When he begins taking lessons for his new phone from the 'Einsteins', the tech experts at the store, Mordecai discovers a new and unexpected lease of life.
In conversation with Eye for Film, Samel discussed how his lack of intention to direct led him to contribute to an important conversation, and rejecting on-set conventions to honour his collaborative ethos.
