How Can I help?

Bringing a film to life requires careful planning, coordination, and leadership. These services support filmmakers in building productions that run smoothly from preparation through filming.

• Producing

  • Support from development through production, working closely with the director and creative team to help guide the film to completion while ensuring the production process remains strategic and efficient.

• Line Producing and Production Management

  • Oversight of the logistical and operational side of production, ensuring the project is properly planned, staffed, and executed.

• Budgeting and Scheduling

  • Creation of an initial production budget and shooting schedule to give your project a clear framework for planning, fundraising, and production preparation.

• Tax Credit Consulting

  • Planning to use the Illinois Film Tax Credit? I’ll be your strategic guide through the process.

Great films begin on the page. Drawing on my skills as a producer and a creative, I offer development support to help writers and filmmakers strengthen their scripts and identify budgetary road blocks.

• Script Notes

  • General feedback on your screenplay highlighting areas that could benefit from further development.

    Notes may address:

    • story structure and pacing

    • Formatting

    • character motivation and clarity

    • dialogue and scene effectiveness

    • Budgetary red flags

• Story Diagnostics

  • A deeper analysis focused on the underlying engine of your story.

    This service examines:

    • the strength of the central stakes

    • the effectiveness of the emotional arc

    • narrative momentum and pacing

    • whether the core conflict is fully landing
