tomer heymann
Seventy years after his grandfather escapes from Nazi Germany to Palestine, Israeli documentary director Tomer Heymann returns to the country of his ancestors, and there meets a man who will change his life. I SHOT MY LOVE tells a personal but universal love story and follows the triangular relationship between Tomer, his German boyfriend, and his intensely Israeli mother.
Tomer Heymann was born in Kfar Yedidia in Israel in 1970 and has directed many documentary films and series in the past ten years, most of them long-term follow-ups and personal documentations. Tomer also directed documentaries about local culture heroes. Tomer’s films “Aviv – Fucked Up Generation”, “It Kinda Scares Me”, “Paper Dolls” and “I Shot My Love” were theatrically released in cinemas in Israel and around the world, making Tomer one of the Documentary Film industry’s leading directors.
