Winner of the 2022 Miami Jewish Film Festival Audience Award, iMordecai, is coming to South Florida theaters this February with lots of anticipation. The film, which was directed by Boca Raton’s Marvin Samel, is a feel-good comedy about a Holocaust survivor whose life changes forever when he must face the realities of a modern world – navigating his first iPhone. The film is based on Marvin’s real-life stories of his father Mordecai that accumulated over the years. What originally started as vignettes had developed into real comedic situations with a cinematic feel, and thus iMordecai was born.
What really makes the film special is its connection to South Florida. Audience members will see many familiar locations and landmarks throughout including Aventura’s Point East Condos, Wynwood Walls, South Beach, Lincoln Road, and many more. It was important for the film to not only take place in South Florida but also to be filmed here as Marvin and his family have a deep connection to the places and locations highlighted. The film also boasts an incredible cast including Oscar nominated and Emmy-Winning actor Judd Hirsch (Taxi), two-time Emmy winner Carol Kane (Taxi), and SAG Award winner Sean Astin (Lord of the Rings).
iMordecai tackles serious topics like the Holocaust and Alzheimer’s but does so in a profound and insightful way. Mordecai learns that ultimately, through letting go, he can begin to heal the things he cannot fix and turn the pain of his past into something beautiful. It’s a journey that takes you through every human emotion and teaches you that it’s never too late for inspiration.
iMordecai is coming to AMC Aventura February 8th. If you’d like to follow along with the film’s journey, please visit www.imordecai.com
