About
Jeremy Kagan
“See an acclaimed filmmaker's stunning, deeply personal vision of the Torah.”
Jeremy Kagan is an internationally recognized director, writer and producer of feature films and Emmy-winning television, and a professor at USC.

Imaging Torah is his most personal work: a 25-minute film that interprets the Torah through animations of paintings and pencil drawings he created over three decades.
