DOCUMENTARIES
NITTY GRITTY founder Ryan Charles has had a long-standing relationship with Wakan Films and filmmaker Khashyar Darvich. Meeting in L.A. over 6 years ago Ryan has lent NITTY GRITTY's expertise to a number of Darvich's projects-- both local and foreign-- having cut no less than 2 feature docs, a dozen socials, trailers and shorts and also participated in filming trips as far away as the jungles of Sri Lanka and as intense as inside the prison walls at Oregon State Correctional Institution.
Having worked extensively on all areas of the documentary filmmaking process-- from production to editing to marketing and distribution-- Ryan has a unique expertise that he has put to work on other documentary projects since-- both big and small-- and even helped him, for a time, to run the social media over at Desktop Documentaries, a premier resource for documentary filmmakers.
