What is Between the Temples about?
“In the film, Ben is a forty-something cantor losing his voice and possibly his faith. Struggling to meet the expectations of his rabbi, congregation, and not one but two Jewish mothers, Ben finds his world turned upside down when his grade school music teacher re-enters his life as an adult bat mitzvah student. This warm and anxious comedy from prolific writer/director Nathan Silver explores the complexities of belief, connection, and what it means to be a real mensch,” reads the official synopsis.
Between the Temples is directed by Nathan Silver from a screenplay he co-wrote with C. Mason Wells. Joining Schwartzman are Carol Kane, Dolly de Leon, Caroline Aaron, Robert Smigel, Madeline Weinstein, and Matthew Shear. The film is produced by Tim Headington, Theresa Steele Page, Nate Kamiya, Adam Kersh, and Taylor Hess, with Schwartzman, Kane, David Darby, Lauren Shelton, and Joshua Blum set as executive producers.
