Short Summary

Without my passion for performing, creating, entertaining, and crafting my ideas into creative projects, I would truly have nothing. However, there is a greater motivation that fuels this creativity. It’s something I’m truly hungry for. Fusing my passion for the arts with my fascination, curiosity, and love for learning about people and their diverse cultural backgrounds provides me with a purpose as an artist… bringing to life this project. 

Hi there! My name is Aryaan Kanji, and I am the Creative Director, Host, and Co-Producer of “The Starving Artist.” Through all the creative work I’ve done within the span of my career, there hasn’t been a project I’m this passionate about, which is why we need your help to bring it to life. The Starving Artist is a documentary series that weaves together my creative passions for the arts with the stories behind local artists. The show explores topics such as identity, challenges, vulnerability, authenticity, and culture, all through the lens of the delicious food that each artist has grown up eating. We successfully cooked up a storm back in October and completed the production of our pilot episode and need your help to bring the feast to the table — i.e. help us reach the finish line!

 

What We Need & What You Get

A little goes a long way, and as a student-led production, we put this project together with the means of adrenaline, passion, and our own funding. We are aiming to raise $2500 CAD to recover our expenses (crew catering, location fees, transportation, supplies, equipment etc.) and fuel the distribution process, allowing us to weave these incredible stories into a visually stunning and engaging pilot episode. Having already captured riveting stories and profound moments, your support is key to bringing this project to its full potential. By donating, you are not merely supporting a documentary; you are becoming an essential part of a movement that amplifies voices, unveils untold narratives, and fosters the enrichment of arts & culture. Your donation enables us to share these compelling stories with the world, sparking conversations, challenging perspectives, and contributing to a more empathetic and interconnected global community. Every dollar counts, and every contribution gets us one step closer to our goal.

We also are offering a few small tokens for your support, and these perks are as follows:

- All donors will receive credits in the film, 

- Donors who contribute $50 CAD or more will be invited to a special screening of the docuseries pilot.

- Donors who contribute $100 CAD or more will be given an Executive Producer credit.

 

Risks & Challenges

While we embark on this exciting journey to bring you our project, it's essential to be transparent about the potential risks and challenges that lie ahead. Recovering the costs of a documentary series is a multifaceted task that involves navigating the complexities of production, distribution, and unforeseen logistical hurdles. Delays in post-production, unexpected changes in market dynamics, or challenges in securing distribution channels are all plausible scenarios that could impact our timeline. We recognize that transparency is the bedrock of trust, and by openly sharing these potential obstacles, we aim to demonstrate our commitment to overcoming challenges with resilience and resourcefulness. Your support is not only a testament to your belief in our project but also a shared acknowledgment of the uncertainties present in any creative project. Together, as a community that values openness and perseverance, we can navigate these challenges and bring our documentary series to the fruition it deserves.
