Boaz Davidson is the Head of Development and Creative Affairs for Millennium Films. Davidson is known for his hit film “Lemon Popsicle”, which debuted at the Berlin Film Festival, receiving its Panorama Audience Award. Davidson was born in Tel Aviv, Israel, graduated from London Film School, and later moved to the United States. I was able to talk with Boaz about his early years directing films, the difference between making films in Israel compared to the United States, and the possibility of “The Expendables 3”.
