Black Bear Pictures’ Teddy Schwarzman will executive produce and finance. Le Pacte’s Jean Labadie is co-producing the film, which is supported by the Israeli Film Fund and Film and Medienstiftung NRW.
Adler directed Bethlehem, his feature debut, which was Israel’s Oscar entry in 2013. He is repped by WME and Novo.
Kruger is repped by UTA and Untitled Entertainment, and Bana by WME and Sloane, Offer.
