Some would say the true beauty of filmmaking is in capturing moments. Those moments that create an inexplicable shift in our perspectives, in our minds, and in our hearts. Those that propel us to the path we're meant to be on, for better or for worse.
FilmUp founders, Aryeh Hoppenstein and
Christina Chironna, believe that catching these pivotal moments is a key part of life. It's one of the reasons why they are creating a new platform for filmmakers - to move the world in the best possible direction: up.
Before they launch FilmUp in March 2017, they want YOU to share some of your moments - whether it be a sincere smile from a stranger that gave you hope, a spontaneous trip that opened your mind to new possibilities, a passionate argument that catapulted you in a new direction, or a random act of kindness that completely changed your perspective. Film it, share it, and give the world a chance to catch it. Winners will be notified March 10, 2017.
