Ruvi Leider is a producer, writer, director and photographer with a focus on narrative, commercial and live-stream production. Ruvi produces everything from social content, multi-camera live stream, feature films, interactive digital installations and TV commercials for national and international broadcast.

On today's episode, Ruvi shares how he got his start by responding to a craigslist listing, the role of producer and what that can entail for any given project, how he stays calm and collected in stressful situations, and some notable pinch-me moments as he looks back on the last 5 years.

I loved chatting with Ruvi about his upbringing in the industry and also about some of his more recent accomplishments, which include his feature producing debut with Balloon Animal, the launch of his very own production company, and the development of his feature film, FREI, which is a coming of age story about Chassidic teens loosely based on his own experience.
