Sal Litvak was born in Santiago, Chile and moved to New York at age five. He attended Harvard, NYU Law, and UCLA Film. He directed the Passover comedy and cult hit, When Do We Eat?, starring MaxGreenfield, Ben Feldman, Shiri Appleby, Lesley Ann Warren, Michael Lerner and Jack Klugman in his final role.
Sal directed Saving Lincoln, based on the true story of Abraham Lincoln and his closest friend & bodyguard Ward Hill Lamon. This epic indie features a new visual style called CineCollage, which places the actors within actual Civil War photographs. The film's Gettysburg Address scene has been incorporated into Houghton Mifflin's standard American history textbook, used by students across the country. Sal wrote both films with his wife, Nina Davidovich Litvak.
