Benzfilm has teamed up with producer Effie T. Brown for POLISH BAR, a new script by Ben Berkowitz and Ben Redgrave. Berkowitz will direct the film; a drama about Reuben, a young middle-class Jew, who is fed up with the family jewelry business. He looks for respect by trying to prove himself as a Hip Hop DJ and working for Polish gangsters at the local strip club. In a world of sex, cocaine and violence, he encounters Ebony, a troubled young girl who clashes with Reuben's tough guy front. But when his Orthodox cousin, Moises, arrives he causes Reuben to question his own actions and beliefs. Family, greed and faith conspire against him as he struggles with the ludicrous underbelly of Chicago and his desire to make a name for himself. POLISH BAR is currently in development.
