Resources The project's principal advisors will continue to provide
invaluable information and resources through interviews and reviews of material during the
research and development stage. In addition, extensive archival research will be necessary
to develop a comprehensive and accurate script. Toward that end, we have compiled an
extensive selection of relevant books, articles and films: In preparation for scripting,
we will conduct preliminary interviews with subjects who will appear in
the film, including Stephen Whitfield, Sydney Mintz, Moshe Waldoks, Mike
Wallace, Art Buchwald, Alan Dershowitz, Sid Caesar, Jack Kugelmass, Esther
Romeyn, Michael Feldberg, Jackie Mason, Billy Crystal, Joan Rivers, Rita
Rudner, Mike Nichols and Elaine May. "Your proposal
demonstrates a large amount of research and thought and a very intelligent approach to
this rich subject. I am confident that this documentary can perform an important service
by giving a comprehensive view of Jews in comedy." – Rabbi
