Directed by Arbel Kodesh, Going There follows Rachel (Yunger), a juvenile woman in her late twenties who steals her younger sister’s passport and all-expense-paid youth-group ticket to Israel to chase down her ex-boyfriend (Sulkin) in Tel Aviv. But after illegally entering the country, Rachel finds herself unable to escape her sister’s organized tour and is forced to become “Becca.” She quickly finds a nemesis in Mor (Saul), a stern IDF soldier who senses something is off about the imposter tourist and makes it her mission to stand in Rachel’s way.
The script, penned by Kodesh and Joshua Losben, received an award from the Rabinovitch foundation. Astral Future’s Co-Founder Matthew G. Zamias produces alongside Ofer Naim of United King — the leading entertainment content enterprise in Israel, founded by Moshe & Leon Edery — as well as Jacob Horn. The film is executive produced by Moshe Edery and Albertino Matalon.
An up-and-coming American Ukrainian actress and comedian, Yunger has been seen in Paramount+’s Frasier revival and will next appear in Jonah Hill’s dark comedy Outcome for Apple. She is repped by WME, LBI Entertainment, and Yorn, Levine, Barnes.
Kodesh previously served as a staff writer on the Hank Azaria comedy Brockmire, which ran for four seasons on IFC. He is repped by Yorn, Levine, Barnes.
Sulkin is repped by Independent Artist Group, Curtis Brown Group in the UK, and D2 Management; Sprayberry by Pallas Management Group and Del Shaw Moonves; and Mazouz by Paradigm, Untitled Entertainment, and Jackoway Austen Tyerman.
