PRODUCTION STRATEGY FOR INDEPENDENT CREATORS

Senior-level Guidance for Independent Film, Theater and Digital Narrative Projects in Active Development

I offer production consulting for independent film, theater and digital narrative projects at various stages of development, from early concepts to projects preparing to move into production or financing.

This work is grounded in 30 years of hands-on producing experience and is designed to help you make smarter decisions before committing more time, money or energy.

Who This Work Is For

I work with independent creators and creative teams who want experienced, practical guidance as they shape and advance a project.

This work is especially useful if you:

  • Are developing a script, series or film and need a producer’s perspective

  • Are preparing a budget, schedule or deck and want to pressure-test your assumptions

  • Are weighing multiple paths forward and need help deciding what makes the most sense

  • Want clear, honest feedback rooted in real-world production experience

Projects may be at an early stage or further along in development. The common thread is a desire for clarity, realism and forward motion.

What We Work On

Production consulting is tailored to the needs of your specific project. Depending on where you are, our work may include:

  • Script and/or treatment review

  • Budget analysis (Movie Magic or similar)

  • Schedule/DOOD review

  • Review of decks and ancillary materials

  • Assessing feasibility, scale and risk

  • Clarifying next steps toward development, financing or production

The focus is on helping you understand what you have, what you need, and what to do next.

How We Work Together

Production consulting is offered as a one-time Production Strategy Review.

This engagement includes:

  • Advance review of your materials

  • One 90-minute strategy session on Zoom

  • A written summary outlining key observations and recommended next steps.

Investment: $1,500 USD
