Directed by Jon Michaelson, the movie stars Broadway actor Astrid Van Wieren, awarded Best Actress laurels from indie festivals in Chicago and Toronto. The movie is infused with an ever relevant societal critique addressing violence against women, comparable to the grit of Mike Leigh’s work in its affect and immediacy. Hand-held wide screen color cinematography featuring long takes, and evocatively minimal musical underscoring, contribute to allowing viewers to engage with a dramatic experience that poses provocative questions, rather than offering easy answers to the issues the movie explores. THE RIVER YOU STEP IN is available for streaming on platforms such as Prime video, You Tube, Google Plus, Vudo, Vimeo, and Tubi. A DVD with commentary is also available from distributor CINEMAINTENTANT. www.cinemaintenant.com https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/55fa0653e4b0adc11e5b3160/0c2a2d97-465b-437b-8e66-effff4879d22/Daniel+Briere+and+Sharmila+Dey+as+Karl+and+Mina+in+TRYSI.jpg FILM https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/55fa0653e4b0adc11e5b3160/1724112532003-HQZHN44AHTJFODYSVFUA/OFFICIAL+SELECTION+++++++++++++++++++BEST+ACTRESS+++++ASTRID+VAN+WIEREN+-+Chicago+Indie+Film+Awards+-+2023.png FILM https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/55fa0653e4b0adc11e5b3160/1724112570014-MOWDX0FOXKM1KQA15BLW/OFFICIAL+SELECTION+-++++++++IndieFEST++++++++++++++++++++Film+Awards+++++++++La+Jolla+California+-+2022.png FILM https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/55fa0653e4b0adc11e5b3160/1724112596044-PYB6EKDLWT3KW76MGL6W/INDIEPIX+VISION+AWARD+-+SR+Socially++Relevant+Film+Festival+New+York+-+2022.png FILM https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/55fa0653e4b0adc11e5b3160/1724112621742-EN797KII3VLM4K75F60B/AWARD+WINNER+Best+Actress+Astrid++Van+Wieren+-+Toronto+International+Women+Film+Festival+-+2021+%281%29+%281%29.png FILM https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/55fa0653e4b0adc11e5b3160/1724104219736-8984NCCER2N12RK4HB36/swings%2B%25281%2529.jpg FILM https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/55fa0653e4b0adc11e5b3160/1724104187787-1XKYDIUI37MRFX4B6HOZ/stevieben2.jpg FILM https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/55fa0653e4b0adc11e5b3160/1724104130531-2ZNPMVCKRBFSDCFCCGN7/cafe.jpg FILM https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/55fa0653e4b0adc11e5b3160/1724112121130-QLZTO4WW64MS8FFN9N61/SC26%2BMina.jpg FILM https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/55fa0653e4b0adc11e5b3160/1724102442052-LI9GN9MKC3QC0DOD8UKL/SC71+Stevie+and+Carl+%281%29.jpg FILM https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/55fa0653e4b0adc11e5b3160/1724102682506-0AZDC99RBUXUIGERUTOF/park4.jpg FILM https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/55fa0653e4b0adc11e5b3160/1724104431358-ME9BCSZEY9WPQF61UIX6/watertaxi%2B%25281%2529.jpg FILM https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/55fa0653e4b0adc11e5b3160/1724100512946-B6IL7C4WAYR02ND21NBI/smudge+%281%29.jpg FILM https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/55fa0653e4b0adc11e5b3160/1724102390693-WI6L9NEN0064WYC21QVV/singing.jpg FILM https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/55fa0653e4b0adc11e5b3160/1724109499830-YPFKAE0YV5JXNH97440A/IMG_2674.jpg FILM https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/55fa0653e4b0adc11e5b3160/1724104614863-1K7H5NVR0O1W6OPTYTE4/dance%2B%25281%2529.jpg FILM https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/55fa0653e4b0adc11e5b3160/1724100584858-TKWN5P97L3BD2F0E2E8D/0K7A4128.jpg FILM https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/55fa0653e4b0adc11e5b3160/e776cbe9-eb2a-46c3-9c40-27a8c56dc639/IMG_3210.jpg FILM http://www.jonmichaelson.net/contact daily 0.75 2024-06-23 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/55fa0653e4b0adc11e5b3160/1529363819311-D2WBH639T1B9NSUIV3Z2/Optimized-_31C2943+%281%29+%282%29.jpg Contact It’d be a pleasure to hear from you I'm at michaelsonjon@yahoo.ca or please use the form below. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/55fa0653e4b0adc11e5b3160/6dae5234-fa00-4770-9bbb-fc30bf15823b/Jon%27s+Card++-+website+address+%26+phone+no.+%282024%29+%282%29.jpg Contact -

On the road, he encounters other lost souls – peace seekers and strivers, false prophets and would-be healers, and at least one femme fatale - on their own promised land odysseys. a play by JM “The play overall is really great. I love the story, and Lenny's journey, and the flashbacks to Maddie, and her journey. Lots of great stuff about Israel, and all the issues there, and how they get mixed up in Lenny's journey. Great characters along the way. Great writing. Great atmosphere as well - “ Lee MacDougall (author of the play “High Life”) https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/55fa0653e4b0adc11e5b3160/1567807061990-1LP23E0I8ONF5IK1QPWK/JAKE+at+work.jpg UPCOMING - i n s i t u is a character-driven romantic drama with noir-like elements. Set within an Israeli archeological environment, it features mostly English language dialogue, with scenes in Arabic and Hebrew. Set primarily in and around Jerusalem, as well as on a dig-site cave in the Judean desert, where Jews and Arabs compete to lay claim to the buried artifacts of their past… “The script compels further reading from the start. The focus on the love story between a married Jew and a young Palestinian woman is very well put and effectively built to a climax The characters of Jake and Sumaya are well developed real and mature personalities. Asif is also a real main character. You can identify with these people. What's very likable is that it isn't black and white. There are good Jews and Palestinians and bad ones. This makes the story strong and balanced. The plot in the second part reads as a thriller. You want to know how it ends as well as what happens with Jake and Sumaya as well as Asif.” - Eddy Janssen, Israel - “The script is very interesting, and quite accurate in terms of the desert archaeology work.“ - Noam Shalev, producer, Tel Aviv - https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/55fa0653e4b0adc11e5b3160/1448900981406-SNM9WS97TEQ4KHAYQ1EZ/Murder-Ballad.jpg UPCOMING http://www.jonmichaelson.net/about-flatiron daily 0.75 2025-05-09 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/4fba5732e4b0935259821a4a/1369776799999-F40P45QJ9UD08MX9L7KN/giraffportratt_laptop.jpg About https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/4fba5732e4b0935259821a4a/1369776812829-TBCDS719XG5D1QF6EX52/julia12.jpg About https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/4fba5732e4b0935259821a4a/1369776860851-L4G0IPD39GJAO2TNC9J5/20130111_123453_col_highres.jpg About https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/4fba5732e4b0935259821a4a/1369776847846-RNXY0D23IUVEE9Y4FWUL/anna8.jpg About http://www.jonmichaelson.net/contact-flatiron daily 0.75 2025-05-09
