Tzvi Friedman

Biography

Tzvi was born and raised in Brooklyn, NY, in an ultra-orthodox Jewish community that viewed most modern cinema as contraband. As a result, Tzvi grew up clandestinely watching films, including his favorites: Stanley Donen's Charade, Star Wars: A New Hope, and Fellini's 8 1/2. Strongly influenced by theology and remodernist art movements, Tzvi strives to create thought-provoking and meaningful films, that often contain spiritual themes. His debut feature film "MAN" premiered at the Woodstock Film Festival.
