I coach writers and TV producers, directors and editors. I will raise your career to the next level.
MY PASSION: I have 35 years experience creating Unscripted and Reality TV, and I love passing on my knowledge. My former employees are executive producers on hit shows, and production executives at large companies, and they all use my approach to shooting and editing. My secret is inclusivity. I include every position in the story-telling process.
MY PROMISE: Your directors will get great material while shooting less. Your editors will edit better shows faster. You will dodge mistakes that plague many productions. I help experienced crews raise their game, and prep newcomers from all different backgrounds. I will save you money and make your employees better. If you’re a writer, director or editor, I can help make your novel, screenplay, or rough cut better.
Consulting for Production Companies
I come to your company and run bootcamps that inspire and elevate your producers and shooters before production, and then your editors before post begins. I respect your teams’ expertise, and I work with them to make everyone better. Whether you have new hires going into the field for the first time, or experienced shooters and directors who appreciate a different point of view, my techniques will help your production run smoothly.
Classes
I teach two courses: one on directing and shooting unscripted TV, and another on editing unscripted TV. I teach both on Zoom and in person, and each class has a maximum of ten people. In this new WFH world, it’s hard to get the experience you need to rise to the next level. It’s even harder to find a mentor who will teach you what you need to know. I can be that person, and help you be ready when that promotion comes!
Personal Coaching
This is one-on-one coaching. For TV, I will help you become a better field producer, shooter or editor. Are you producing your own film or TV project? I will give you detailed notes on your pitch deck, sizzle reel or rough cut. Are you a writer? I will give you feedback on your treatment or script, so you can make it the best it can be.
