1959 - In a world of teenage lust and twisted morals, it’s hard to keep one’s innocence. With a simple roll of the dice, the child becomes a predator.
The saint, a sinner.

Winner: The School of Visual Arts ‘Outstanding Achievement in Directing’ award for 2005.
Winner: “Best Narrative” & “Best of the Festival” Awards at the Artsfest Film Festival

“The screaming immediacy of “Heavy Soul” characterizes who Oren Shai will continue to be as a filmmaker… He’s got it. I don’t think the ‘50s have ever been quite this extreme in any film and this is some trip.”
- Rory L. Aronsky, Film Threat

“A Lifetime movie as directed by David Lynch, with a script by Cornell Woolrich, with a smattering of Russ Meyer and John Waters influences at the back of the palette”
- John Oak Dalton, MicrocinemaScene

“Shot with a $10,000 budget and on 16mm film, Heavy Soul looks and feels more professional than a good number of features I’ve seen… If this is any indication of what we can expect from Shai, I look forward to his first feature.”
