A First Look Behind the Scenes

A look at behind the scenes in the making of The Unmarried Widow [Video]

Here is a quick glimpse of the behind the scenes in the making of The Unmarried Widow. The whole casting, filming, and post-production was a thrilling journey. We have experienced bumps in the road, we ended up replacing our lead character and our "Rabbi" to the current performers, who both did a phenomenal job. There were tears, laughter, some yelling, and overall lots of fun, it's what made this journey so unique.
