My strengths are story design, project management, and filmmaking. I offer several distinct services that can help make your project a creative success.
Project Management
Most artists are stressed over the number of creative choices available to them. This slows down their process, inhibits them from getting into a flow state, and costs them unnecessary time and energy.
As a certified Project Management Professional (PMP)®, my role as a creative consultant is to organize your project so that you can focus on what matters and see clear choices to make.
With this service, I can act as a ongoing Project Manager (PM) or deliver a comprehensive, strategic roadmap with everything necessary to solve your creative challenges.
Here are specific areas of expertise in my creative services consulting:
- story logic and design
- story structure models
- character profiles and ontologies
- integrated character arcs or character webs
- plot, symbol, and theme lines
- screenplay doctoring
- complete screenplays
- preproduction roadmaps
- storyboard designs
- unit production manager (UPM) services
If you have a story that you want transformed into a producible, professional script or if you have a script that needs to be refined and improved, this is the best option for you.
Film Directing
Stories do more than engage the attention of an easily distracted audience: they can move viewers to take action. But there’s a lot that can go wrong, creating a fine line between success and failure. To ensure your media project is a success to you or your clients – that it makes you money, reaches your audience, and has the impact you want – you need someone who understands the unforeseen pitfalls specific to your project. Whether you are crafting a Super Bowl advert, a local business promotional video, or a safety or leadership training film, I remove the pressure and handle all the production details for you.
My production services include the following:
- comprehensive script analysis
- preproduction consulting
- full-service video production
- video editing and postproduction
- asset delivery via neatly organized archive
Clients benefit additionally from this service – both financially and artistically – as they also have access to my production equipment and network of talented crew.
Productivity Tools
Like many creative types, I suffer from severe ADHD. As a result, I had to create tools to keep me continually achieving goals of increasing complexity. Some of the resources I have available include templates, email challenges, and coaching to get your project to a state of done.
