(Miami, FL) - A New York City cellist, plagued by years of guilt, seeks solace in a Holocaust survivor with whom he shares a tenement wall, in The Wall, playing July 6-20 at http://www.RedMovieHouse.com.

The award-winning film was written and directed by Miami native, Michael Green, while in film school at The Florida State University.

�The Wall was an opportunity to merge two art forms that have had a profound impact upon my life � film and music,� says Green, who grew up playing violin from age 8.

Among many awards garnered by the film, The Wall won a student Emmy at the College Television Awards in Hollywood, California.

Shooting the production presented some unique challenges. According to Green, �the actor (who played the cello in the film) had no music experience and the actress (who played the violin) had no acting experience, as she was a professional violinist.�

Green says he was inspired to create the film after hearing a lecture about the power of art to bring people together. The message of the film, according to Green: �Despite our differences, there are things (like music) that transcend race, gender, and creed and tap into something far greater and more fundamental � our humanity.�
