Isaac Florence's growing experience.

Isaac Florence was born in 1958. His parents are survivors of the Holocaust. When Isaac was a child, he often went to the movies. When he watched Sergio Leone's "Golden Branches and Jade Leaves", he was intoxicated by Leonet's strong opera style. Since then, Isaac has been fascinated by movies. He knows that he will be a filmmaker in the future. In high school, Isaac made three films with his father's 8 mm camera. After graduating from high school, he served three years of compulsory military service and then got a degree in film and television from Tel Aviv University. Isaac's first film was adapted from a poem by Jacques Preville, and his graduation work was a film called A Farewell to the Terminator. For this reason, he won an award at the Mograbee Film Festival and was selected by Israel to participate in the 1988 Oscar for Best Foreign Language Short Film. After that, Isaac decided to go to America to pursue his career as a filmmaker. This decision was not only an important move for him and his wife Barbara, but also made him give up his thriving karate school (Isaac started practicing martial arts at the age of 13, when he was considered one of the best martial arts people in China).
