An important part of the
process behind Racing To
Rio was to generate
interest for the project as
time went on. We would
keep the community
interested, while trying to
reach beyond those
already involved, with a
Wordpress blog. I would
consistently write for the
blog before and during
production. My articles
covered topics such as
updates on
filming/production,
pleads to potential
sponsors, cast and crew
biographies, thank-you
notes to caterers, and
historical/contextual
details that relate to our
cause.

Pre-Production
One of the longest, but
most important
processes behind the film
was getting ready for
production. During this
time, I worked closely
with the production
coordinator. We drafted
sponsorship requests to
businesses and constantly
searched for potential
sponsors who could fund
our project. We had to
summarize the goals and
virtues of the BarbaroGould Foundation, while
trying to get others to see
What I learned
I learned many things
during my internship with
the Barbaro-Gould
Foundation, but the most
valuable is the process
behind a film. Even
though Racing To Rio is a
not-for-profit
documentary, it still goes
through the process an
independent movie
would take to make.
From observation and
participation, I learned
that a director needs to
Production
to handling items to
helping set up/wrap up
our site. In addition to
observing interviews and
filming, I also got to know
the crew members better.
(EX. I learned a lot about
lighting just by talking to
the gaff/lighting director)
Again, I worked closely
with the production
coordinator. I took notes
for the camera log while
she dictated. I also kept a
mini-production book,
My overall experience
with Racing To Rio has
been an enriching one.
Ive learned the nuances
that go behind directing
and producing a film,
specifically an
independent one, and
seen firsthand the
successes and setbacks
along the way. I was also
able to put my
organization and writing
skills to use by acting as a
production assistant and
me develop confidence as
a person and allowed me
to further pursue my
dream of a career in
filmmaking.
I am proud to be a part of the dedication and passion that went into Racing To Rio. Being a production assistant has
given me the chance to participate in the world of filmmaking and there is nothing more thrilling than knowing that I
contributed to the creation of a professional film. Kylene Harrington
