ABOUT THE FILM:

And God said, “Let us make Man in Our image.”

Based on folklore, this Holocaust-period film tells the legend of a group of Czechoslovakian Jews who use ancient mysticism to rise up against the Nazis.

Walk in the Park Pictures thanks the many actors, crew members and supporters who helped bring the film to life.

The trailer for the short film Banks of the Vltava is now available on IMDB.   The film, produced by Walk in the Park Pictures, tells the story of a young rabbi during World War II who uses ancient mysticism to protect the Jews of Prague, but finds the force of nature he raises to be beyond his control.  We hope our friends will support the film by "liking" us on IMDB, Facebook and elsewhere!  Check it out at:
