UNTITLED SAM AND OMAR PROJECT
Director/Producer: Nadav Kurtz
Producer: Diane Quon
Executive Producers: Jeremy Yaches, Jeremiah Zagar and Abby Lynn Kang Davis
In 2006, Sam Bader was producing an indie crime film about a burglar when a warrant was issued for his arrest in connection with a real robbery. Bader’s eight-year-old son Omar gave the police Sam’s phone number- and to this day, Omar believes that this led to his dad’s arrest and a 24-year prison sentence. Now as father and son seek to rebuild their relationship, they retrace their history and use their mutual love of music and film to reconnect.
