Esther Podemski received funding to produce House of The World, a documentary film focusing on the residues of everyday Jewish life in Poland following the catastrophic events of World War II.

The film is set in a working class Latino neighborhood in Brooklyn. Troyano will use a melodramatic style prevalent in much of Mexican popular culture. The film is intended
