And, although we know going in that you suffered it, it still manages to be a horrifying shock. I can only imagine the emotions you must have surrounding the film. What is the experience like for you viewing the film?<\/p>\n<p><strong>Grant Korgan:<\/strong> Our goal in making this film was to make a positive impact with our collective efforts, above all else. I truly believe we are most connectable where we are most vulnerable. And, if I believe my own words here, then I knew I was going to need to be all-in \u2014 committed fully to share my whole truth \u2014 all of it. The emotions I might feel when reliving the worst experience of my life is secondary to sharing my truth \u2014 unimportant in the big picture of the film&#8217;s ultimate goal.<\/p>\n<p>Diving deeper here, knowing the film is touching the audience&#8217;s hearts and minds, and is having the positive impact in the world we all hoped it would, was and is the ultimate intention of the film. I have likely seen this film thousands of times, and there are many parts that still bring me to tears. I believe this is a testament to the team that curated the story, and their ultimate success in achieving such an emotive product. That said, I always avert my eyes during the accident footage. I do not need to relive the feelings and experiences that transpired on March 5th, 2010.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_119625\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.premiumbeat.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/The-Push2-1.jpg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" data-wpel-link=\"internal\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-119625\" class=\"wp-image-119625 size-full\" title=\"Industry Insights: Grant Korgan and The Push - Owning Your Own Reality - Grant Korgan\" src=\"https:\/\/www.premiumbeat.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/The-Push2-1.jpg\" alt=\"Industry Insights: Grant Korgan and The Push - Owning Your Own Reality - Grant Korgan\" width=\"755\" height=\"561\" srcset=\"https:\/\/vip-go.premiumbeat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/The-Push2-1.jpg 755w, https:\/\/vip-go.premiumbeat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/The-Push2-1.jpg?resize=300,223 300w, https:\/\/vip-go.premiumbeat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/The-Push2-1.jpg?resize=277,206 277w, https:\/\/vip-go.premiumbeat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/The-Push2-1.jpg?resize=359,267 359w, https:\/\/vip-go.premiumbeat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/The-Push2-1.jpg?resize=543,403 543w, https:\/\/vip-go.premiumbeat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/The-Push2-1.jpg?resize=560,416 560w, https:\/\/vip-go.premiumbeat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/The-Push2-1.jpg?resize=150,111 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 755px) 100vw, 755px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-119625\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Grant Korgan in <em>The Push.<\/em><\/p><\/div>\n<p><strong>PB:<\/strong> How did you take the determination to use the footage of your accident and build this documentary on your healing process?<\/p>\n<p><strong>GK:<\/strong> This was a decision based on necessity rather than creativity.
