Elevated guidance for Filmmakers & Creators
who refuse to tell ordinary stories
With a background in filmmaking, journalism, and story development, I offer a rare blend of editorial precision and cinematic intuition. My consultancy elevates your creative vision while giving you the structure, strategy, and professional insight needed to build work that resonates, performs, and positions you powerfully in the marketplace.
What This Session Unlocks
This consulting service provides high-level creative and strategic guidance for filmmakers, writers, and founders developing story-driven projects.
Whether you’re refining a screenplay, elevating an investor-facing pitch deck, or preparing a project for the marketplace, the focus is on clarity, structure, and professional industry alignment.
This is not a general consultation. It’s a focused development session designed to sharpen narrative direction, market positioning, and decision-maker readiness.
What’s included:
• Review of your script, treatment, or pitch deck
• Clear, structured notes on story, tone, pacing, and clarity
• Strategic recommendations to strengthen concept and positioning
• Industry-informed guidance rooted in film and narrative development
I bring industry insight, development clarity, and green-lighting intelligence to your project — so you walk away with a clear, confident path forward.

WHY WORK WITH ME
My background spans filmmaking, journalism, authorship, and interviewing some of the world’s most recognized artists. I approach story from a cinematic, editorial, and emotionally intelligent perspective—one that understands both the creative process and the demands of the marketplace.
I have developed stories across film, media, and branded content, shaped narrative for public figures, and produced work featured by major platforms. My consulting brings clarity, structure, and a high-level perspective rooted in real industry experience:
• Tribeca-recognized Produced
• Author of an Oprah-featured Celebrity memoir
• Former entertainment journalist
• Interviewed A-list talent for major networks
• Experience in story, development, and pitch positioning
• Deep understanding of cinematic narrative and audience impact
Does Your Project Require Additional Consulting Pathways
Beyond single-session consultations, I work with select clients on deeper development and strategic packaging when a project requires more targeted support.
If your project needs financing strategy, festival positioning, distribution guidance, or market-specific preparation, we can design a consulting pathway tailored to your film’s scope, stage, and goals.
Whether you’re navigating investor conversations, planning a festival trajectory, preparing distributor-facing materials, or shaping a long-term release strategy, I’m happy to discuss what kind of support makes the most sense.
If you see something here that aligns with your project—or need something more specific—reach out and let’s talk.
