Sal Litvak, a visionary filmmaker, was born in Santiago, Chile, and relocated to New York at the tender age of five. He then went on to pursue his academic endeavors at Harvard University, followed by a stint at New York University School of Law, and later, the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) Film School.
As a director, Litvak gained recognition for his work on the Passover comedy, "When Do We Eat?", which has become a cult classic. The film boasts an impressive ensemble cast, featuring the talents of Max Greenfield, Ben Feldman, Shiri Appleby, Lesley Ann Warren, Michael Lerner, and the late, great Jack Klugman in his final role.
Litvak's subsequent project, "Saving Lincoln", is a historical drama based on the true story of Abraham Lincoln and his closest friend and bodyguard, Ward Hill Lamon. This epic indie film employs a novel visual style, known as CineCollage, which seamlessly integrates the actors within actual Civil War photographs. The film's Gettysburg Address scene has even been incorporated into Houghton Mifflin's standard American history textbook, used by students across the country.
Litvak co-wrote both films with his wife, Nina Davidovich Litvak. His next project, "Guns & Moses", is eagerly anticipated by fans of his unique filmmaking style.
