Who The Folk?! Michael Greenberg

Michael Greenberg had heard stories about a piece of Minneapolis’ Jewish history that many weren’t real interested in talking about — and certainly less interested in seeing on the big screen. But that didn’t stop Greenberg from writing, directing, and producing ‘The Combination‘, a short film that looks one particular aspect of the life of Isadore “Kid Cann” Blumenfeld, the head of the Jewish mob in the 1920s. We talk about taking a deep-dive into some of the less-savory parts of Minneapolis Jewish history, what drew him to filmmaking, and the Twin Cities as a place where great movies can be made, on this week’s Who The Folk?! Podcast. Also check to see if tickets are available for the premiere screening at the Trylon Cinema. (Editor’s note: Due to popular demand, there will be a second screening on Dec. 28 at Trylon Cinema which was added after the recording and initial publication of the article took place).
