The ultra-Orthodox Israeli filmmaker tells us about her hit show, "Fire Dance," and seeing the good and bad in everyone.

Just like watching her work, including movies like “Fill the Void” and “The Wedding Plan,” and “Fire Dance,” her first TV show premiering today on ChaiFlicks, talking to Rama Burshtein is a deeply spiritual experience.

She is warm, open and sage-like, as if you’re talking to a great Jewish mystic. The ultra-Orthodox creator is the reigning queen of onscreen Haredi romance, a winner of two Ophir Awards, and someone who makes every shot of her films and shows feel haunting and holy.
