I say I want to create more episodes for our audience, for the world, for young people who relate to it. But secretly it's just for me so I can keep spending time with the wonderful people who work on Soon By You

My favorite part about working on Soon By You is learning so much about Jewish culture that I did not know!

Ben
Playing Ben gives me the chance to seek validation from others by over-inflating my accomplishments. It’s like a family dinner, but I walk away with footage when it’s done.
