NEW DAY FILMS BY
David Yanofsky:

Poetic License

San Francisco-based filmmaker David Yanofsky has recently completed his first feature film entitled Poetic License, a one hour documentary. He spent two years on the project, guiding it through all stages of production. In addition, Yanofsky is currently at work on creating a comprehensive multimedia curriculum packet that will accompany the film and be used in the nation's classrooms and after school programs.

Before moving back to the US in 1998 to begin work on Poetic License, Yanofsky lived and worked for five years as a foreign journalist. During that time, he produced and directed two short documentary films, "Kops' Kids"(22 min) and Zeitgeist"(28 min). Those films document the powerful effect that drama has had on a handful of students from the Gandhi School, the only secondary school in Europe for Gypsies. Both of the films have been used extensively in Europe by various human rights and Roma organizations.
