Ira Rosensweig is the director and editor of Share?, a science fiction thriller that was shot entirely from one fixed camera angle. This film will creep you out, but in a good way, as it prompts you to take an honest look at your relationship with social media.

- The origin of the film and what Ira hopes to evoke in the audience
- How he accidentally fell in love with filmmaking during college
- Becoming a “full stack” filmmaker - writing, producing, directing, and editing
- Challenges in working with famous celebrities
- Being confident and honest regardless of the reactions of others
- Directing actors within a short frame of time
- Getting excited after receiving rejection
- All the challenges they faced during production and post production
- Not taking “no” for an answer
