Film Series for a Major American Newspaper - Looking for Stories

I'm a London based film producer, currently collaborating with the Smalls production company on a series of short films (interview led, docu style) for a major American newspaper.


We're essentially looking for New York based people hoping/ preparing to transition from a permanent job to starting their own business. We need interesting stories & camera-ready personalities. Aspiring entrepreneurs, who must get their finances in order before making their side gig their main gig.


This is, of course, a paid opportunity for the featured stories.


Many thanks and hoping you can suggest some leads for us or offer to participate and tell your story. Shooting is due to happen in the 2nd part of May, as well as in early June (2 separate sessions), but we need some preliminary options urgently.


Looking forward to hearing from you,
Anda
