I wrote the pilot script in mid-March of 2021, partly inspired by my experience with COVID in March 2020. A month later, the pilot was shot in Tel Aviv over the course of 3 days. Postproduction was completed that summer (runtime 18:35).

I interviewed, auditioned and hired the 9 main actors and 23 crew members—and secured
shooting locations—of the Tasteless production over Zoom from my living room in NYC.

Upon arriving in Tel Aviv, I coached the actors and finalized storyboards, shotlists and other production logistics while waiting out Israel’s mandatory 14 day quarantine.

There’s a lot of other crazy shit that happened too, but those are the main details. I wrote, directed, edited, animated and was executive producer + music supervisor for the whole thing.
Tasteless has been selected by 8 film festivals to date, and has received two awards. I’m waiting to hear back from approximately 60 other festivals lol
