Today’s filmmaking landscape offers endless possibilities for the creative using small cameras, AI tools, and accessible editing software; It’s easy to create very high-end productions with small means.

Focus on a specific project or take a general APPROACH.
These film mentorship sessions are designed to provide comprehensive support and guidance to filmmakers of all levels. During our coaching sessions, we can take one of two approaches depending on your needs. If you have a specific film project that you're working on and need help with, we can focus our coaching sessions on providing guidance and support for that project.
Alternatively, suppose you have more general goals and objectives in mind. In that case, we can work on developing a tailored approach that will help you advance your skills and knowledge in cinematography, directing, and film editing. Whatever approach we take, my goal is to provide you with the tools and insights you need to achieve your full potential as a filmmaker.
I recommend scheduling mentorship sessions regularly to ensure consistent progress and growth. For example, some filmmakers prefer weekly sessions, while others may prefer bi-weekly or monthly sessions. Whatever your preference, we can work together to create a schedule that works best for you.
My coached film mentorship sessions are designed to provide ongoing support and guidance to help you achieve your filmmaking goals. With regular sessions and consistent effort, you can develop your skills, grow as a filmmaker, and bring your creative vision to life.
