Ruthless development strategies for culturally ambitious films.

Work With Me
Development Strategy
I work with a small number of independent filmmakers, producers and writers on serious projects at serious stages. Not script notes. Not coverage. Ruthless strategic counsel on positioning, packaging, audience, and what it actually takes to get a culturally ambitious film made in the current market.
Everything broad is free - in the books, on LinkedIn, in the PDF below. Real engagement - the kind that moves projects forward - is a different conversation. Short-form intensive sessions and longer ongoing partnerships available.
