"DIRTY BOMB," one of the great but largely untold stories from WWII, is about Jewish prisoners who manipulated the German’s V2 bomb, causing it to misfire at the cost of their lives will launch on Nov. 17 as part of an evening of three original short films.
The event will take place at Laemmle’s Ahrya Fine Arts Theater, 8556 Wilshire Boulevard in Beverly Hills.

Recently, she produced a film called "LOST AND FOUND IN ARMENIA" with Jamie Kennedy and Angela Sarafyan, a cancer documentary "CANCER, IT’S IN THE SYSTEM" in which she co-directed and co-produced with Cindy Pruitt and produced an award-winning film entitled "NEO NED," starring Gabrielle Union and Jeremy Renner.
The short film stars Los Angeles based actors James Babson (THE WORDS), Israeli-born actor Ido Samuel (FILL THE VOID), and J. Michael Trautmann (SHAMELESS).
The film was produced by Jennifer Tung, Stefan Simon and Brian Kelly Jones.
