It's an admirable and seductive goal that I can identify with. I've been tangentially in the film & TV business from the 'enabling tech' side and have enjoyed having exposure to it. An approach you could think about is to decide what value you are going to uniquely bring to the table in the early phases of a creative media project and focus on developing proof points of that. One angle could be your tech and management skills amplifying the investment and passion you bring. Personally, I rarely see investment capital as the fundamental limiting constraint, thus suggest you might not want to focus on that as your primary value. When you said "I know nothing about this business", I thought two things. First, it's great that you know you don't know. Second, it's likely you may have a bad time as an investor until you build more domain expertise. As an angel investor, I've learned my judgement tends to be far more accurate when I focus on areas I have expertise in. Additionally, I can also provide help to positively influence the outcome.
