I had the honor of serving as the production designer for The Boy, a poignant short film directed by the late Yahav Winner. The narrative delves into the lives of a father and son residing in a kibbutz near the Gaza Strip, grappling with the relentless threat of rocket fire. Tragically, Yahav was murdered by Hamas terrorists on October 7th, 2023, while heroically protecting his wife and one-month-old baby girl.

The film's profound impact was recognized through numerous awards and nominations:

• Israeli Academy Ophir Award (2024) : Winner – Best Short Film (Israeli Oscars)
• Munich International Festival of Film Schools (2023): Winner – Prix Interculturel, Special Mention
• Munich International Festival of Film Schools (2023): Winner – Best Screenplay, International Competition
• Tel Aviv International Student Film Festival (2023): Winner – Best Cinematography (Ben Peled)
• CinEuphoria Awards (2024): Winner – Best Director in a Short Film (Yahav Winner)

The film stands as a testament to Yahav's artistry, bravery, and vision, ensuring his legacy lives on.
