  • Great podcast

    As an Ithaca College graduate, I remember going to School with Aryeh and hearing about FilmUp and his mission for it. Listening to this podcast brings back memories of the passion and drive Aryeh has to change the world. What an excellent way to create that change with a podcast designed to help people. I feel apart of this community even though I’m not a filmmaker- Connor M. Paratore

  • Getting the best out of the guests

    Aryeh and Christina really know how to get the best out of their guests, doing their research, asking engaging questions and allowing guests the space to speak and tell their stories. Even as someone not technically in the film industry I enjoyed the conversations and learned a lot from the insights the guests shared.
