'Share?' Director Ira Rosensweig on Full Stack Filmmaking

Listen Later

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.


In today’s episode, No Film School’s GG Hawkins speaks with director and editor, Ira Rosensweig to discuss:

  • 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



    • Memorable Quotes

    • “The most expensive lesson I learned as a filmmaker was directing something without knowing how to edit.” [4:45]
    • “When you can figure out how to use technology to your advantage to tell a story in a different way, there’s nothing better.” [30:17]
    • “When you strip certain things away and limit your pallet, it makes a much more interesting product.” [37:17]
    • “Do what drives you and try to make what your passion is. Your passion is the thing that will get it made.” [41:14]
