Filmmaker Consultation
I get asked pretty much weekly by complete strangers to talk with them about filmmaking goals and I really do want to help but I also need to prioritize my own work so normally I decline. But here is another way.
I’m going to occasionally make myself available to do one on one filmmaker consults. You want me. You gotta pay for me.
$100/hr
$60/30 mins
Audio Skype or phone call. Pay upon scheduling. No refunds. No rescheduling.
One on one. I’m all yours (or whoever you’re giving me to as a gift). If I know about it, I’ll tell you about it.
What I will do
-
I can advise you on your career and life as a filmmaker
-
I can help you strategize your next steps or long term goals
-
I am happy to answer any questions about the business and my experiences that are not covered by some dumb NDA
What I will not do
-
I cannot advise on crowdfunding. Never done it. Know nothing about it. I can refer you.
-
I will not read your script. I can refer you to a script reader if coverage is something you need.
-
I will not watch your work.
-
I will not introduce you to anyone.
-
These consults are one off and should not be considered relationships or an expression of my recommendation of your work.
