All the same, he continues following his passion of becoming an established screenwriter, working to get his crafts onto the big screen. I look forward to seeing him win his first Oscar. </p><p>Be sure to follow the UPcoming wherever you get your podcasts, and check us out on Instagram, LinkedIn, Threads, and X.</p>

      <title>Episode #67: Trey Petgrave</title>
      <description><![CDATA[<p>This week, I sat with the great Trey Petgrave - a filmmaker, visual storyteller, and fellow Purchase alum. His credits are as high as getting his senior thesis project on Revolt TV and directing a music video with BET. He doesn't just come with his own experience in directing, but also his thoughts on the film industry, why quality over quantity matters, and how the streaming wars undermined cinema. I am so glad I got to talk with him, and I am nothing but excited to introduce him to you.</p>

      <description><![CDATA[<p>Today is Mother's Day and while many celebrate the day with their mom's, many others sadly cannot.

      <title>Episode #56: Aaron and Adrian Sterling</title>
      <description><![CDATA[<p>Brothers Aaron and Adrian Sterling have put 100% into everything they've done. When they started as athletes in basketball and football, it was nothing but pure dedication and practice. The discipline they developed from nonstop training has helped tremendously in their shift towards filmmaking and the tedious, stressful life this path ensures. Based off Adrian's time in football, their film "Make It Happen" sheds a tragic light in the pursuit to achieve one's athletic dreams and be the star everyone can be proud of.  </p><p>Upon making this shift, the brothers learned to navigate the unpredictable production life, become the businessmen they need to be to survive, and provide a story worth watching. It's difficult, but they have each other's backs, and I could not be happier to have them on.</p>
