“A Tale of Two Weddings” continues Candy Kugel’s series of autobiographical films starting with “I, Candy” (2018), then “Miracle on Central Park West” (2020). “A Tale of Two Weddings” chronicles the seemingly impossible task of attending two important family obligations taking place 48 hours apart—one on the Jersey Shore, NJ USA and the other in Jerusalem, Israel. With two very different families and traditions…or were they?
This is what I did during the Covid-19 lockdown in 2020/2021. I even finished the picture almost a year before I could mix it because of outbreaks of Covid and studios closing. I believe it is one of Lanny Meyers best scores and I loved all the challenges this story offered me to meet!
Because of the difficulty of getting films into festivals (my personal ones anyway-- the commissioned works seem to find their way!) this is also an experiment. I am offering it first here, on my brand-new website, because I'd rather have people see my work than get prizes. What I'm missing is the chance to watch it on the big screen (where it was made for!) with an audience...but this is a start!
