Thanks for the info, Gavin.
To judge from Moshe´s clips, 12 Stories is a good title because she does a great job as a storyteller. I like the way she can set a scene with a couple of commonplace details. Without being too cheesy, she makes sure that we can all identify with her characters, before she fleshes out the story and circumstances that give depth to her picture.
