“FilmUp is not just another platform or network for Filmmakers. This is very much a game changing labour of love driven by professionals and visionaries with a passion for film and a dedication to philanthropy. The platform is made for everyone who plays a role in the industry. You can really see the care and attention to detail infused in the slick and simple interface. It had me at Hello. And the beautiful part is; they are hungry for your input and feedback. This is just the beginning. Mark my words, this platform will alter the 16:9 landscape and become a hub, a hive, and indeed, a place, where filmmakers go.”
