Jewish Story Partners (Jsp), a Los Angeles-based nonprofit film funding organization, has announced its new slate of grants to 19 documentary film projects.
The org, which was launched in April 2021 with support from Kate Capshaw and Steven Spielberg’s Righteous Persons Foundation, will distribute $490,000 among these independent films, all of which explore the vast and vibrant terrain of the Jewish storytelling space. The announcement coincides with Jewish American Heritage Month and a commitment from President Joe Biden’s White House administration to develop a national strategy to counter antisemitism and “address increasing awareness and understanding of both antisemitism and Jewish American heritage.”
Since its inception, Jsp has disbursed $2 million in funding to 72 documentaries telling diverse Jewish stories.
On the heels of previous Jsp-funded films that have premiered at Sundance — including Paula Eiselt’s “Under G-d,” Luke Lorentzen’s “A Still Small Voice” and Ondi Timoner’s Oscar-shortlisted and Emmy contender “Last Flight Home...

Steve McQueen’s 12 Years A Slave pulled a five finger discount at the 2014 Indie Spirit Awards grabbing hardware in the Best Feature, Best Director, Best Screenplay, Best Supporting Actress and Best Cinematography categories.

A film that just might be this year's award's season sleeper, given that virtually no one is talking about it right now - especially when conversations are had about black actors who might be in the running for performance trophies. Don't forget about Isaiah Washington in Blue Caprice, a film that debuted at the Sundance Film Festival, and was picked up by Sundance Selects. I should also say, don't forget director Alexandre Moors (his debut feature) and co-star Tequan Richmond. Penned by R.F.I. Porto, and co-produced by Ron Simons (SimonSays Entertainment), alongside Isen Robbins, Aimee Schoof, Stephen Tedeschi, Brian O’Carroll, Kim Jackson and...

Blue Caprice
Director: Alexandre Moors
Writer(s): Moors and R.F.I. Porto
Producer(s): Kim Jackson, Brian O’Carroll, Isen Robbins, Will Rowbotham, Aimee Schoof, Ron Simons, Stephen Tedeschi
U.S. Distributor: Rights Available

The highest spot in our countdown for a first time filmmaker on our list belongs to Alexandre Moors – the Filmmaker Magazine Top 25 New Faces (Summer ’12) talent’s Blue Caprice is imposing because it details the true story crime spree before it is even conceived. If his videoclips/short films work is proof, this should be visually arresting observation. Grouping of actors Tim Blake Nelson, Joey Lauren Adams, Al Sapienza, Leo Fitzpatrick and Isaiah Washington topline the film. I can’t wait to sink my teeth into this one.

If Sundance’s principle mission is to showcase future filmmaking talent, then they’ll probably want to stamp their film fest laurels on this French born, Filmmaker Magazine Top 25 New Faces (Summer ’12) talent’s debut pic with who many agree might be one of those helmers that moves from a curriculum vitae of eye-popping commercials and video clips (most notably Niggas in Paris) to getting tons of feature film offers after his first try. Alexandre Moors appears to have finished principle photography somewhere in 2011 – meaning that there may have been a lot of progress (2012 Independent Filmmaker Labs) since he gave us this early snippet. Loaded with faces we’ve seen at previous Sundance editions: Joey Lauren Adams, Tim Blake Nelson, Leo Fitzpatrick, and Isaiah Washington (who takes on the role of John Allen Muhammad) this should be positioned for the fest via the huge team of producers.
