For ten years, filmmaker Sean Wainsteim struggled with an intensely personal semi-autobiographical magic-realism film exploring the challenges, responsibilities and repercussions of passing Holocaust stories down through generations. That film was called Demon Box. When that film was rejected from festivals, Sean made a new film on top of the old one. This film is called Demon Box.
