The movie is dedicated to Paul Mazursky.
DIRECTOR PAUL MAZURSKY: "You (Producer-Director Strehlau) decoded Isaac Bashevis Singer--good acting and well shot!"
Despite great interest from diverse sources in the hybrid feature documentary Bashevis, A Love Story, based on the life of Isaac Bashevis Singer, the film remains unfinished. Production was initiated in 2008 with an 18% grant of the film's total budget from the Polish Film Institute (PFI) which was only partially fulfilled, and a 16% investment from the film's producer & director, Daniel Strehlau. The financial report of the PFI subsidy was accepted by the PFI accountant. The result of the budget shortfall was that production of Bashevis, A Love Story was halted in 2011. The current status of the film is an 85-minute draft. The production staff and fans of Bashevis Singer worldwide are hopeful that investors will be found to finish this film about a remarkable storyteller and recipient of the Nobel Prize in Literature.
