It's Doc Season at Tapeworks!

It's always exciting when you get a chance to host Hollywood talent - this week we were pleased to work with highly-regarded film actor and international stage performer, Marton Csokas.  


Mr. Csokas (from the films Lord of the Rings: Fellowship of the Ring; Kingdom of Heaven; Alice in Wonderland (2010), and The Debt, among others) was in our studio to perform voiceovers for the upcoming feature-length documentary, Follow Me: The Jonathan Netanyahu Story.  


This film depicts the story of a young Israeli soldier who was killed during the 1976 rescue of 246 passengers who were taken hostage by terrorists on a flight from the Ben-Gurion Airport (in Israel) to Paris, France.  The narrative is of a combination of historical accounts from the highjacking to the eventual rescue, as well as personal letters and correspondences involving Jonathan from the time of his military training up until the time of his death.  Mr. Csokas' role in the project is the vocalization of Netanyahu's written letters - the voice of the principle character for the film.

Despite coming from a variety of backgrounds (born in New Zealand, dual-citizenship and ancestry in Hungary, and permanent residence in the US), none of which include a Hebrew dialect, Marton expertly delivered his lines with an Israeli accent; no small task, when we regularly see just how hard it is to read lines the right way in our regular voices! 

Marton even found some time to demonstrate his didjeridoo chops during a short break - don't you just love working with those multi-talented performers!
