Tax Credit Feature: “Guns & Moses” Moses Zaltzman is a beloved rabbi in a dusty desert town. When his congregation is violently attacked, police accuse a young white nationalist who threatened them in the past, but Rabbi Mo thinks the troubled teen may be innocent. With no one else willing to investigate, Rabbi Mo becomes the detective, and as the bodies pile up, he becomes a modern day resistance fighter and must learn how to use a gun. At the heart of the film is the unexpected bond between the rabbi and an antisemite, as well as Mo’s looming fear that he won’t pull the trigger if he has to… and that he will. As the opening feature for the 19th annual Los Angeles Jewish Film Festival, “Guns & Moses” world premiered on June 19, 2024 at the Saban Theater in Beverly Hills. Directed by Salvador Litvak; Written by Salvador Litvak and Nina Davidovich; Starring Mark Feuerstein, Neal McDonough, Dermot Mulroney, Christopher Lloyd, Alona Tal, Craig Sheffer, Jake Busey and Michael B.
