Every film begins with a conversation.

This 90-minute session is a focused, generous space to lay your project on the table — wherever it is. An early spark. A tangled edit. A stalled grant. A story you’re afraid isn’t working.

I listen closely. We identify what’s alive, what’s blocked, and what the project is asking of you now. Together, we clarify next steps — creative, structural, emotional, logistical.

You leave with:

• Clear, actionable direction

• A grounded sense of your film’s core

• A practical roadmap forward

• And relief — because you’re no longer alone in it

This is not a pitch session. It’s a deep breath and a reorientation.

Conception is for filmmakers at the earliest stage — when you have fragments, questions, obsessions, research, images, or a feeling you can’t shake.

We work to:

• Identify the heart of your film

• Clarify its thematic core

• Shape a compelling logline and synopsis

• Define your point of view and ethical stance

• Explore aesthetic language and form

This is where we protect the fragile idea while also testing it against reality. We dream rigorously. We ask hard questions. We find the story only you can tell.

By the end, your film won’t just be an idea — it will have bones.

Incubation is for filmmakers ready to move from inspiration to infrastructure. Together, we build the container that will allow your film to grow.

Support may include:

• Development timelines and accountable routines

• Grant strategy and application refinement

• Budget development and funding maps

• Deck and teaser feedback

• Story architecture and narrative design

• Ethical frameworks and community accountability

This phase blends creative development with disciplined project management. I help you create sustainable systems — so your film doesn’t collapse under its own ambition.

The goal is not just a stronger project, but a stronger process.

This is where films become real — and where many lose their way.

Whether you are in Production, in the edit suite, or overwhelmed by logistics, I offer grounded, experienced guidance and if needed, hands-on co-creation.

Support may include:

• Production strategy and workflow design

• Directing mentorship

• Pre-Production and Production Services

• On-set decision support

• Scene shaping and interview strategies

• Edit consultations and structural interventions

• Pulling a film “out of the weeds”

• Post-production scheduling and deliverables oversight

This is steady, calm accompaniment through high-pressure moments. We protect the integrity of the story while making smart, practical decisions.

Your film can be both disciplined and alive.

A film’s life does not end at picture lock. It only begins.

Growth is for filmmakers preparing to bring their work into the world — thoughtfully, strategically, and in alignment with their values.

Support may include:

• Festival strategy (from major international premieres to targeted circuits)

• Broadcast and streaming positioning

• Impact and community screening design

• Marketing narrative refinement

• Long-term capitalization strategy

We consider: Who needs this film? Where will it resonate? What does ethical distribution look like for this story?

The aim is not only visibility — but meaningful reach.
