Rishi Le Hunte

BACKGROUND

Please describe your company and your position there.

I was the Producer on short film 'If These Walls Could Talk', a short documentary on the effects of architecture on mental health institutions.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

For what projects/services did your company hire Rishi Le Hunte, and what were your goals?

Rishi was our writer/director on the short film and our goal was to shoot a pitch video to pitch to a funding opportunity with SCCI.

SOLUTION

How did you select this vendor and what were the deciding factors?

Rishi was an obvious choice as he had a strong vision for the project and had many ideas about how we would make it happen.

Describe the video(s) and the process in detail, including the project steps and all stages of production.

Firstly we had to write a short script for the pitch video for a pitching opportunity that arose at SCCI Hub where we could pitch the idea in front of many unique people - some of whom knew much about the documentary topic. We then organised a shoot to film the pitch video and began preparations to pitch: such as a speech and powerpoint.

Who did you work with and what was the feedback process like?

We worked with the team at SCCI to perfect the pitch and the story. They had lots of valuable feedback for our team which we took into close consideration.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

Can you share any outcomes from the project that demonstrate progress or success?

No

Describe their project management style, including communication tools and timeliness.

Rishi was easy to communicate with about the project and was a fantastic collaborator. He had fantastic ideas throughout the whole project and helped me stay on track with our timeline.

What did you find most impressive or unique about this company?

I've worked with Rishi on multiple short films throughout our time at AFTRS and  they were always an absolute joy to have on set. Rishi is not only a fantastic cinematographer but a great collaborator and beautiful energy to have on set. He always has a keen interest to learn as much as he can about his craft and experiment with what he's learnt. The films he shoots are both technically and creatively beautiful. He's a wonderful down to earth human and you definitely want him on your project!

Are there any areas for improvement or something they could have done differently?

No
