Founding

[edit]

Holder and Parker had been childhood friends who "really did get their start performing plays on the staircase landing" of Parker's childhood home".[1] They renewed their friendship after college when, during an accidental meeting, they discovered they were both working in the film industry.[1] Parker had worked with Albert Maysles as an associate producer and Holder, who was a production assistant on Hairspray while still a teenager, had directed for Blues Clues.[1] In 1999 they formed the production company, naming it after the Baltimore neighborhood of Roland Park where they'd grown up.[1]

Production

[edit]

Roland Park's first film was the 2003 documentary feature Risk/Reward.[1] The film documented the lives of four women working on Wall Street.[1]

Roland Park also produced the documentary series The Hill and the fiction short Weekend Getaway.
