In this episode of Hollywood IQ, host Ri-Karlo Handy talks with documentary filmmaker Ryland Engelhart (Kiss the Ground, Common Ground) about how he went from a restaurateur and advocate in the wellness and food spaces to a documentarian with three films under his belt and a three-film deal with Amazon. In the episode, the pair delve into the business of getting a documentary film off the ground, including what it takes to pitch prospective investors and secure funding, the importance of building relationships with like-minded people, and having convictions in your vision.
Episode Highlights:
- the value of having conviction in your vision and projects
- philanthropic work vs. artistic work
- how to pitch your documentary idea to a potential funder (and in a way in which they can’t say no)
- why being a bucket filler (vs. a bucket tipper) in life can propel your network
- the buoyancy of being able to make powerful requests
- giving yourself the freedom to ask for what you want
- how to be grateful for and form non-attachment to hearing “no”
- identifying the best people to pitch
