About Looking Up Media

Telling Stories That Lift the Human Spirit

Looking Up Media is a virtue-driven production company founded by seasoned Hollywood professionals who believe that storytelling is a sacred calling. We create and support films, courses, and collaborations that reveal the beauty of truth, the power of virtue, and the mystery of grace. Our mission is to elevate modern cinema — transforming hearts and minds through art that inspires, challenges, and endures.

At Looking Up Media, we don’t produce “faith-based fluff.” We pursue truth, beauty, and meaning through art that reflects the human condition — reminding the world that great storytelling can both inspire the soul and elevate the craft.

“Barbara is that rare person who is as well versed in theology as she is in knowledge of storytelling and filmmaking. ”

To master a craft, one must learn from a master craftsman. Barbara and her team molded me into the storyteller I am today. The standards they hold and the artistry which they approach their work with made all of the difference in my success.

André Gordon Producer & Professor

“Everything I know about storytelling, I learned from Barbara Nicolosi. She’s the best teacher I’ve ever had, with a rare gift for making profound truths practical. Anyone who learns from her and the team at Looking Up Media, will create at the highest possible level.”

Zena Dell Lowe Writer, Filmmaker & Founder of The Storyteller’s Mission

I had the pleasure of working with Barbara on a film our company was producing - and she was a dream to work with. She served as a writer on the film - and the whole way through, she was talented, professional, kind, and supportive. The quality of her writing is top-notch and the film would not be the same without her. I would recommend Barbara to all!
