Arie Posin
Arie Posin is an Israeli-born American film director and screenwriter best known for his 2005 film The Chumscrubber.
Early life
Posin was born in Israel in the early 1970s, a month after his anti-communist parents left Russia. His father was a filmmaker and a member of a dissident underground intellectual society. He lived in Israel for the first years of his life before moving to Canada for eight years and ultimately relocating to the United States. Though Posin's father took filmmaking "very, very seriously", Posin was not allowed to watch television when growing because his father believed that "Just like there is good food and there is junk food ... he didn't want us growing up on junk images."
