I was inspired to create this series of one-on-one mentoring/consulting sessions from my interactions teaching independent filmmakers, aspiring and professional, from around the world. Whether it's in Los Angeles, Burma or Paraguay, we all face similar challenges when making an independent film: how to develop our ideas, where to find financing, how to deal with rejection, staying motivated through the process and how to get your film out into the world.  

These sessions will help you better understand and develop your idea for a film, teach you where to find money and how to present your film in an interesting way to funders and how to get your film out into the world through do it yourself marketing and distribution tools.

I will teach youthe secrets to writing a successful grant proposal to developing your own self distribution plan. You will learn the tools that I've used for over a decade to make my films and get them out into the world (check out: Paraiso for Sale Case Study).  


Here's a break down of what you will learn in each consulting/mentoring session:
