And on the eighth day, God created speed metal: Anvil

“We went to the Jewish Film Festival in San Francisco, and I was thinking, ‘What are we doing here? This is so odd.’ Then I had this epiphany: none of this would have happened if Robb’s father hadn’t survived Auschwitz. That was the beginning of the miracle. The fact that he survived Auschwitz was so that Robb would survive, so that Robb would happen, and then there’s this speed metal where he would be an influence, and then there’s this movie.”
