What is perhaps the first-ever Jewish horror film, Heeb Presents: Night of the Living Jews, premiered at the Bearsville Theater at the Woodstock Film Festival. The sold-out screening was followed by a party at midnight at the Birdcliffe Barn with free bacon cheeseburgers and beer courtesy of He’Brew: The Chosen Beer and Latke Chips courtesy of Thou Shalt Snack. The short film is directed by 20-year-old first time director Oliver Noble, who dropped out of high school to launch his filmmaking career.

Night of the Living Jews takes place on the first night of Passover in a remote Jewish bungalow colony where residents are turned into flesh-eating zombies by matzoh with a dark history. In the hunt for human flesh, the zombies descend on an unsuspecting gentile family in their quiet farmhouse. You’ll take a journey through their hellish night of terror, romance and a frighteningly un-kosher diet.
