An unexpected relationship reveals itself over three months of phone calls between two unlikely collaborators — ‘Marty,’ a 25-year old Ultra Orthodox Hasidic family man, and Annie, a filmmaker in residence at UnionDocs. It all begins when Annie places an ad on Craigslist for a Hasidic researcher for a film about Williamsburg’s eruv, and ‘Marty’ answers. Both parties agree to record their calls, keep Marty’s real name and identity secret, and never to meet; both live in the Southside of Williamsburg. (2011)
