BUSINESS CONSULTING FOR FILMMAKERS
"I finally have the project that I want to tap into my network to produce." "I want to give myself the creative opportunities I've always wanted." "I have the idea and the focus. I just need help making it happen."
What's motivating you?
I WEAR A SUIT SO YOU DON'T HAVE TO
If you’d like to tap into your existing network or uncover new resources to help make your feature, short or pilot, I’ll take care of your project’s executive functions (“the business stuff”) so you can stay focused on the creative work.
GIVE YOUR MOVIE EVERY CHANCE TO SUCCEED
Development & Packaging
Assemble a core team and design solid project blueprint that sets your movie up for creative and commercial success.
Production Modeling
Crew positions? Shoot days? To LLC or not to LLC? Design a production custom-tailored to your goals to minimize waste and maximize creativity.
Financing
Whether pitching professional investors or sourcing funds from your network, the full potential of your project in any scenario in a way that gets people genuinely excited.
Sales & Distribution
The people who will love your movie are already dying to see (or buy) it. We'll help them find it.
Whatever your resources - together, we’ll figure out how you can take the biggest and best step forward. Consulting fees can be customized for your unique needs and are based on the resources available to you, the scope of work and the level of my involvement.
CLIFFHANGERS & REVENUE WATERFALLS
I have a unique background that includes equal experience across many aspects of filmmaking and traditional business.
I’ve worked in film sales and finance at Cinetic Media, and I’ve produced TV shows and shorts for clients like the New York Times and IFC. At the same time, I’ve held organizational leadership positions at corporations like Google and The Honest Company and have helped launch well-funded tech and healthcare startups.
I have a practical mind and an idealistic heart. I’m always most fulfilled when I use my knowledge, skills and effort to make art and empower artists. If there’s a chance I can help you - even by just talking through a problem - send me a note. If we find that I can’t help, I’ll still be rooting for you!

Let's do lunch.
We'll then have a brief introductory call to get on the same page about your project and your personal goals.
03
We'll talk shop.
If we find that I can add value to your project, I'll lay out some ideas and propose small steps we can take to learn how best to work together.
