Bookends (feature) – PRODUCED in 2025 by 5X Media
When Nate, an excitable gay millennial, moves in with his elderly Holocaust-era grandparents after a bad breakup, the two generations’ life experiences, values, and philosophies collide in exasperating, funny, and heartbreaking ways. Set in a retirement community, OVER THE HILL is an inter-generational comedy that is simultaneously a coming-of-age story and an exploration of end-of-life issues. It’s about how people on opposite ends of life’s journey can help, affect, irritate, love, and ultimately learn from each other – if they don’t kill each other first.
Noam Ash first gained recognition as the creator of the hit web series My Gay Roommate and subsequent TV pilot Boy•Friends from Keshet Studios, which garnered over 11 million views and received critical acclaim from Vanity Fair and The New York Times. He appeared in HBO MAX’s The Other Two as well as starred in and executive produced The Influencers on Amazon Prime. Noam recently wrapped his debut feature, BOOKENDS, which he wrote as part of JWI and starred opposite Academy Award® Winner F. Murray Abraham and SAG Award® Winner Caroline Aaron. He is repped by Sweeney Entertainment and HJTH Law.
