in Lille, France. Faigie is just 18 when she starts paying closer attention to Nathan, thirtysomething married son of their ultra-Orthodox community’s leader. Produced by Yes TV, Firma Productions and Kuma Studios, it has Yes Studios handling international sales.
“Fire Dance” is the first series for the New York-born filmmaker, also behind such features as “Fill the Void” and “The Wedding Plan.”“I moved from cinema to television because I wanted to deal with side stories more. I need this kind of space now and once you taste it making a series, it’s hard to go back,” she says.
“I wasn’t even born into it. I became a part of it when I was 27 years old and it was a very conscious choice. I love these people, but you always have things to say, even about the things you love.” “I don’t believe in looking at something and saying: ‘It’s evil.’ It’s more interesting when you recognize yourself in these characters. They aren’t bad – they are complicated.”“He had to be charismatic in a manly way. Levi, a very big star here in Israel, is so talented. He is able to be many things, all at once. He is seductive, he wants power and he fights it, he loves women and stays away from them. Faigie is the same way.
