Michael Jacobsohn, Filmmaker
Born in Haifa Israel, arriving as a teenager to America, where New York City became my home. Eventually, I was fortunate to to be introduced to the Henry Street Settlement Movie Club, located in the lower east side of New York City. Many of my earlier films went on to play at international film festivals, museums, television. After having a great career with ABC News as staff film editor, I was now hungry to return to my first passion, storytelling
via my films.
Robin Hirsch, Cafe Owner
A former Oxford, Fulbright, and English Speaking Union Scholar, who has acted, directed, taught, published, and produced on both sides of the Atlantic. But the titles of which he is proudest were self-bestowed: Minister of Culture, Wine Czar, and Dean of Faculty at the Cornelia Street Café in Greenwich Village, which he opened in 1977 with two other artists, Irish-American actor Charles McKenna and Argentinean-Italian-Canadian painter and sculptor, Raphael Pivetta.
