About the Writer/Director
JUDAH-LEV DICKSTEIN, born in and perpetually inspired by Philadelphia, began his film career as a documentary editor, collaborating on films such as the art world heist Art of the Steal, the ESPN 30 for 30 film, Winning Time: Reggie Miller vs. The New York Knicks, and Barbara Kopple’s Dixie Chicks political musical, Shut Up & Sing. Studying directing at Columbia, Judah has found a love for “David and Goliath” stories and he is currently in production on a feature documentary about an unlikely and contentious City Council race in Philadelphia, set against the backdrop of sweeping gentrification.
