Tzvi

Tzvi is a writer director from NYC. His debut feature film, Killer of Men, made on a $10,000 budget, premiered at the Woodstock Film Festival, which Eric Kohn hailed as “one of the best debuts of 2024” and Oscar-nominated director Ramin Bahrani said “Tzvi has created the definition of low-budget auteur cinema.” Filmmaker magazine called it “an eerily austere serial killer drama, with a (possible) science fiction twist.” In his free time, Tzvi writes short fiction, essays on cinema, and runs the monthly screening series Film Underground, focused on democratizing cinema.
