- What does it mean to you to be an Israeli artist? In the past year I had a lot of contact with producers, managers and actors around the world trying to cast voice recording actors for my animation feature. I sometimes felt that being an Israeli was considered as coming from another far away planet or a tiny anonymous country. Yet sometimes I wondered if there is some resentment against me being an Israeli, especially while dealing with some European contacts. I'm proud to be Israeli, but I am not happy with the political situation Israel is in. I think there is a lot of ignorance regarding what really is going on in Israel and its neighbors. I hope things will change for the better, but I'm not very optimistic. I deal with universal themes and don't think in this case, art or any artist's boycott (which I really disagree with), can profoundly help. Someone in the government needs to be wiser.
