DO YOU NEED SOME ADVICE & GUIDANCE?
I have been in the documentary industry for 30 years and have been teaching documentary filmmaking and mentoring filmmakers for 20 years. It is a passion of mine to help others tell their stories, and to also help them avoid the many pitfalls of making a film. I do this work also because I really wish I had had a mentor to put me on the fast track when I was new in the field. And now, when I'm making my own films, I still rely on the guidance of those who can give me a constructive outside perspective. We don't have to take on this incredibly challenging endeavor alone!

Let me help you make the best film you can. I can jump in at any point and offer my deep, hard-earned knowledge and experience. I can save you time, money and heart-ache, I promise. I will help with crafting your most impactful story, guide you through production and help you to plan and execute successful hybrid or DIY distribution.
