We wanted to make a movie that addressed TIKKUM OLAM - the idea of rebuilding a fractured world by doing what we can to heal it. With 'Book Box' we hoped to show that no matter our differences we always have some things in common too, and we can use that common ground to forge a better tomorrow together.
