On the back of successfully producing and screening my own short films and features, I have taught filmmaking in both the United States and Australia. My personal edge is that I am a working filmmaker, not a theoretical filmmaker that suggests going out and buying all the top gear and hiring all the right people. I want to help you to make your film the way you want it, just like I have spent the last ten years making the kinds of films I have wanted to make. I have been a member of film communities in the United States and Australia and have developed my copyrighted Organic Filmmaking plan for film success based on hundreds of successful consulting situations.
I'll do more than just help you polish your story; I’ll look at your idea from a story point of view as well as an independent filmmaker’s perspective. That’s where the expensive Hollywood script consultation services fail and that’s where I can help you. Being a working independent filmmaker allows me to help you use all the resources and skills that I have learned in my career to bring your script to screen.
I bring to your script ten years of making festival winning short films, three feature films, a cutting edge book on independent filmmaking and six years of teaching independent filmmaking at a variety of educational institutions. I can take your script from where it’s at, to where you can make it. That’s not where I stop though.
There is no point in having an amazing script without essential backup knowledge need to how to make it take it to the screen. More than just the industry standard line of encouragement to “read this book” or even “watch this film”, I’ll provide active and focused support on how to coach actors, how to shoot the scene, editing suggestions and finally the all important “what do I do with this film now?” question. You’ll have your own private mentor through the entire process.
Stop thinking it can’t be done because as of this minute, there is nothing stopping you from achieving your goals. It all depends on you, yes, but everyone needs help at some point and they need it instantly. I have a 12 hour maximum turn around on responses and am available through a variety of means.
There are no added fees, no added costs, and no hidden extras that you will have to worry about. A small one time fee sets up your project, and that’s the only fee you will pay for my help with your film.
Stop wasting time trying to reinvent the wheel and let me show you how to make a better road.
