207: Making a Hollywood Movie Against All Odds. Torsten Ruether, CEO, Hello Moment Productions.

This week’s episode is a rare behind-the-scenes interview on how a Hollywood movie gets made – and how to persuade the right people to back an impossible dream.  Torsten Ruether is a filmmaker, director and the CEO Hello Moment Productions. He has pulled off the unthinkable: to make a Hollywood movie with award-winning actors during some of the most challenging times of the film industry – first the pandemic and then the writers’ and actors’ strike.  The movie “Uppercut” is the remake of an independent film he shot in Berlin in just three nights during Covid. On the podcast he shares the story behind the making of the film, how to think big and stay on track despite insurmountable challenges, how to combine business and creativity, and his 5 E’s for success - Empathy, Enthusiasm, Energy, Emotion, Execution.  Subscribe to the Message Machine newsletter and become an unstoppable founder yourself.  https://www.eoipsocommunications.com/newsletter/
