Overview

Everything’s Kosher is a feature-length personal documentary about Adam, a divorced Jewish father from Chicago who moves to a small town in Germany - once a Nazi stronghold - to be close to his daughter. In his quest to break the generational cycle of abandonment, Adam attempts to reconnect with family, his faith, and his identity by opening a Jewish deli where few would expect it. What unfolds is a vulnerable, sometimes humorous, and deeply human story of love, resilience, and reconciliation.

Told in a first-person format, the film explores both past trauma and present healing. It’s a story about second chances - with family, tradition, and oneself.

Role & Leadership

Beyond mixing, I stepped in as Post Supervisor – a role that became necessary due to the inexperience of the director/producer (who was also the main subject of the film).

After an early conversation revealed uncertainty about next steps, I proposed a plan to lead the post-production process. I established a structure, set expectations, and introduced an editing consultant to help bridge gaps between departments. This included coordinating between Germany, Poland, and LA – syncing time zones, setting feedback rounds, and guiding delivery.
