Cast

Production

The original script was written by Sergio Esquenazi under the name Kosher Bullets. The idea for the script comes from his experiences at a Chabad House in Westwood, Los Angeles. Some of the characters like Rabbi Mendi were based on real Chabad people. Sergio is a big fan of the rock group Kiss, and he wrote the main character (Lanzani) as a staunch fanatic of the band. The script is actually an adaptation of Kosher Bullets, which was an action comedy and was adapted to a satire by Nicolás Allegro, Mili Roque Pitt and Axel kuschevatzky. I Was Made For Lovin' You, iconic Kiss song, is the music for the official trailer.
