Career
editPerlowitz released his first movie, The Edge, in 2017, an action thriller film. The plot was based on a book by Rabbi Nachman Seltzer, which portrays a young man named Keith through his journey as a baal teshuva. Keith was played by Gav Hool and Perlowitz himself played a minor part in the film as Chaim, a hospital chaplain who guides Keith in his journey.[4]
Following the success of The Edge, which was seen as unprecedented in the Orthodox Jewish world, he released his second thriller movie The Skull Of A Genius, which is based on a true story involving the Maharal of Prague.[5] It also featured Gav Hool, as well as main actor Dov Lieb.
Perlowitz later released Desperate Measures in 2021.[6] It is set in Lakewood, New Jersey, and follows the story of Yanky Greenberg, a 15-year-old boy. Yanky is played by Yosef Gininger, who also released a song and music video, titled I Need You Now, for the movie. This was followed by its sequel, 2 Desperate, in 2023.
His latest film, The Youngest Partisan, was released in 2024.[7][8][9] The plot is based on the true story of Romi Cohn, a young man during World War II who joins the partisans, as described in his book of the same name.[10] The film was his most expensive, produced at a cost of over $800,000. It features main actor Matan Kalev.
