Viewers can find the film on major digital and on-demand platforms, including Amazon Prime, iTunes, ApplePlay, VOD, Pay-Per-View, and additional outlets.
12 Hours in October is a narrative feature inspired by the events of October 7, 2023, focusing on four intertwined perspectives over the first twelve hours of the Nova Music Festival attacks. Combining meticulous recreation with powerful performances, the film aims to serve as a cinematic record, an educational resource, and a tribute to those whose lives were forever changed.

The film's ensemble includes Doron Ben-David (Fauda), Yaakov Zada (Fauda), Marina Maximilian Blumin (Fauda), Ariel Yagen (Martin Scorsese’s The Saints), Montana Tucker in a breakout role, Hadar srit (The Perfect Gamble, Virgins), Herzl Tobey (The Perfect Gamble, Damascus Cover), and Chanel Omari, among others.
12 Hours in October is directed and produced by Danny A. Abeckaser through 2B Films. Executive Producers are Ilan Portal, Perry Hiiman, Maor Benshushan, Mosha Ziv, Emil Fish, and Jennifer Dryan Smorgon. The film is written by Kosta Kondilopoulos, with an original score by composer Lionel Cohen.
