So the stock market is crashing and the U.S. is now looking to start a trade war with not only Canada, Mexico, and China, but Europe as well… that doesn’t mean it’s a bad time time to start a business, right? At least not according to the upcoming documentary “Any Problem Is No Problem,” which will be the closing-night screening at the upcoming AmDocs Film Festival in Palm Springs.
From the Emmy-winning team behind “The Rescue List,” this new cinema vérité-style peek into the work of tech-business incubation showcases a three-month crash-course thousands only dream of participating in.
Of the over 8,000 applicants for the Crypto Startup School, only 26 are accepted. These future tech company leaders lay their hopes on the line as they learn from others in the business, network with fellow entrepreneurs and engineers, and ultimately pitch investors during a Demo Day. For many, this opportunity is make-or-break and the only thing driving them is the potential delusion of their vision. It’s also a test of whether they have what it takes to handle the constant fluctuation inherent to the crypto business. While many may believe this work lacks a certain level of humanity, “Any Problem Is No Problem” aims to show is the very real emotions that goes into their innovation.
“Any Problem Is No Problem” comes from directors Alyssa Fedele and Zachary Fink, who received the 2021 Outstanding Social Issue Documentary Emmy for “The Rescue List,” which tracked the story of three Ghanaian boys who escaped modern-day slavery. The documentary is produced by Actual Films, known for projects like Netflix’s “Athlete A,” which covered the Larry Nassar sexual abuse scandal that rocked U.S.A Gymnastics, as well as “The Lost Boys of Sudan.” The company was founded by filmmakers Bonni Cohen and Jon Shenk and is currently led by Justine Nagan, who serves as head of production. No release date has been set for the documentary, but it is expected to premiere at some point in 2025.
