Personal Development
Having a good idea is only part of the process. Creating a successful and immersive story requires an understanding of what modern audiences want to see. It's also about ensuring that the various pieces of your vision fit together to form a cohesive, coherent, and compelling narrative.

As a writer it seems unfair that producers want us to do a lot of the work before approaching them. My book Navigating Hollywood can help break down some of those elements and why they are needed.
This book reached #1 new release on Amazon while in pre-sale. It has been vetted by Sony Entertainment Television execs and has been praised as a great guide to how to be more productive in production.
Directorial Services
While working on commercials, music videos, short films, promotional videos, and documentaries, I've guided directors towards a better understanding of their audiences. I help create an impactful experience that audiences remember.
As a director it is your job to engage an audience, not simply tell a story. Audiences buy into your film because of emotional triggers, I offer guidance and help finding those triggers.
Financial and Distribution planning
Having a plan for recouping investors capitol and getting your film seen will set you 10 steps ahead of your competition, pitching a great show or film idea is a long haul.
Pitching your show idea or film with a financial plan and distribution model can make that journey a lot shorter.

I work with film makers in various ranges from $500,000 all the way up to $35 Million.
Creating pitch decks is an art form in itself. It has to deliver the visuals and essential information to studios and investors in a concise and persuasive way. You have to engage decision-makers without ever meeting them.

While working on a film pitch deck based on the book To Watch You Bleed, I focused on the pre-existing audience for the book and discussed with the studio how to appeal to the established fan base and where the international appeal could be found.
